    We don’t hear enough soil being a life making material that underpins the entire economic system upon which we rely. We must ensure that soil remains a living organism for future generations by keeping a minimum organic content of 3%. Talking with @SadhguruJV. #SaveSoil

    50 years ago, this day changed my life. My father was exploring the Gulf Stream with his submarine and I was invited to witness Apollo 11 lift off in Cape Kennedy. That's when I decided to become an explorer #Apollo11 #Apollo50th #NASA @NASA
