You know, Terrye, it's funny --- I don't get the same feeling. I feel more like, mmm, like the whole reason we're here is to provide an audience, and the farther out we get and the better we get at it, the better we're doing what we're meant to do.
The latest hot rumor that has all of official Washington agog is that Senator Edward Kennedy attempted to sexually harass Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The only solid grounds for the rumor is this photograph – which seems to provide convincing evidence:
It's on the other side? Mars is also farther out than Earth--maybe affecting the glare. We're to Mars as Venus is to us, relative to the sun. So, Venus seems to wander all over the sky while Mars is much slower and more sedate--from our POV.

Ground the Shuttle, Explore Space!
That's a "grandfather's axe", saying the white dot I see is 'really' a blue dot.
If dad replaced the handle after grandfather died, and I replaced the head after dad died, is it my grandfather's axe?
Another example of the government spying on us.
Why doesn't the picture show the moon? It is pretty decent sized relative to Earth.
