William B. Spillman Jr. writes: “About 15 years after I had retired from the Virginia Tech physics department, my wife Barbara and I found we could not keep up our 73-acre property, 2,800 feet up on Wills Ridge, with its wondrous and beautiful views in Floyd, Virginia, so we reluctantly left Floyd (just at the beginning of the Covid epidemic) and relocated to Savannah, Georgia, where we live now. Shortly after we moved here, I happened to be able to photograph a SpaceX resupply flight to the International Space Station. I have been thinking about how that moment was a perfect intersection of past and future. For all our faults as a species, we are so very fortunate to live on a most wonderful, beautiful and inspiring planet.”
