Special Report
Read our special report “Breaking Out from Earth’s Shell” by Sylvia
Engdahl at https://lifeboat.com/ex/breaking.out.fr...hs.shell
Long ago people literally believed that an invisible, transparent shell
surrounded Earth to hold up the stars. After that theory was discarded,
the shell remained in a figurative sense, for Earth was thought to be
forever isolated from the rest of the universe. Some people are
comforted even today by this illusion, although it’s time for humankind
to break free.
