Re: Well...

The seas are bluer, I'd say, like here and the blue-white-brown contrast is much better here. These 2 pictures show what the human eye would see. While the GOES pictures are far more black and whitish or very dark blue and whitish (enhancing the clouds, perhaps). Those GOES pictures don't show a rotating full Earth, but always one half of the same side of the planet.
Of course, I've liked the Triana idea right from the beginning for its educational value (though having a camera showing the Earth from the Moon was the original idea);
Besides, Triana could have shown the Earth with a starry background moving all the time (the Earth moves about 1 degree per day in the heavens, in its orbit around the sun), really giving an idea of where we are.
