But here's the one that I'd like to leave you with. In 1968, it was a tough year. We had assassinations. War was raging. But NASA was still doing their, you know, their attempts to reach the moon. So on Christmas Eve 1968, Apollo 8 had reached the moon. It was a dress rehearsal. It wasn't going to land. It orbited 10 times. But on the way home from that dress rehearsal, if you will,

One of the astronauts took the picture of Earth rising. And what was Earth rising? You could see the Earth for the first time taken from a person, you know, far away, in this case, circling the moon. And you could see the blackness everywhere, but the beautiful blue-white colors of the Earth. And it reminded you of the story perhaps some of us have heard before, the blue dot. We are a blue dot.

who would it be? Someone asked me once in one of my last town halls at MTV. So who would you like to meet that you haven't met? And I thought for a second, I said, you know, I'd like to meet every single person that works at MTV at the time or 6,000, because we all have a bit of a hero and wonderful personality in ourselves. So I know it sounds kind of corny. I just like to meet everybody.
