For eons, our planet has drifted as a spaceship through the universe.

— Walter Cronkite version from 1986-1994

I have been riding Epcot’s Spaceship Earth since 1983 and have heard every narrator for the attraction. By far, Walter Cronkite’s version is my favorite. He was Uncle Walter to my generation who grew up watching his nightly newscasts on television.

For the Disney Pic of the Week on Spaceship Earth Exterior, I share an early Autumn day when the clouds billowed up behind the huge geodesic structure.
