Whatever your religious or political views might be, seeing earthrise puts it all in perspective. That's us. That little blue ball is the place where THE ENTIRETY of all human history occurred and it's so small and insignificant.
A simple but absolutely relevant comment Nathan - if that picture of earthrise doesn't inspire us all I'm not sure what will. It still looks incredible and always will
we have gone into OUTER SPACE and have discovered PL:ANET EARTH..all it's fragility , wars, pollution, conflicts,religions, culture, but NO BORDERS visible, just a BLUE MARBLE
I was nine, and just returned from our church Christmas program when i watched it on TV, and at that moment in time, all was right with the world...I'll never forget it.
I was 21 and followed the entire space race to the moon between the Americans and the Russians. This was in a way was more fantastic than the landing. It was the first time we left Earth entirely and went to another world. This was true space exploration. As they were reading from Genesis left me in awe. Watching it as it was happening was almost as amazing. The people in NASA were also apprehensive about it but still decided to go. It was a giant step for Apollo 11 to land on the moon. Earthrise was another awe inspiring moment. Of course we didn't see the pictures until they came back.So many space firsts that the Russians always seem to come up with. Exploring the unknown always gave me chills and Apollo 8 was exactly that. It was a indeed a Merry Christmas.
Back in the 80's my dad was a corporate business jet pilot. There was a used airplane dealer at the airport. The dealer came and found my dad and asked him if he had time on a Beech Duke. My dad told him he had several hundred hours on a Duke. The dealer was glad and told my dad, " Frank Borman is flying-in to look at the one i have for sale, and you are the only one here today that can give him a check ride." my dad was incredulous, "you want me to give frank borman a check ride? He was a test pilot and astronaut......he flew to the moon!" Well, Borman flew in and they came and found my dad. He showed Borman all the systems, controls, safety concerns, weights, measurements, limitations and etc. Borman told my dad he would prefer if my dad flew first in the left seat and watched him. So they flew one circuit in the pattern, landed, and switched seats. My dad said Borman's approach and landing was like he had thousands of hours on the Duke. I asked my dad if he was a typical cocky fighter jock with a cavalier attitude that treated the check ride as a formality. My dad answered, " he was the exact opposite of that. He was extremely kind, gracious, and asked A LOT of questions." He knew my dad was taking time out of his day to help with the plane transaction. Borman profusely thanked him for his help. My dad asked if he wouldn't mind signing the back of his business card. He was more than happy to oblige. He even went a step further. He somehow produced a glossy photo of the "earth rise." (perhaps from his briefcase) he signed it "frank borman - apollo 8 - commander." Years later my dad gave me the signed business card and photo. I framed them and have them hanging in my office at work. I can't tell you how many times people have asked about it. It's a cool story to tell, i think. My dad said, "you know, all the celebrities, politicians, and men of industry i flew over the years - not once was i ever intimidated by anyone. But Frank Borman was the most intimidated i've ever been in a cockpit, and he was also the friendliest person i've flown with." i told my dad i think it right he felt that way. Those apollo era astronauts had ice water in their veins.
More than half of the 29 astronauts who flew Apollo missions are now deceased, but as of today December 21, 2022 all three crewmen of Apollo 8 are still living, Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders.
I am so glad they have such longevity.... Also, it's odd that the astronauts to die young from completely non-space and non-aviation reasons were all Apollo Command Module pilots. Don Eisele of Apollo 7 died of a heart attack in 1976 (while on a goodwill mission to China), Ron Evans of 17 died of a heart attack in 1990, and 13's Jack Swigert died of cancer in 1982.
The crew members of Apollo 8, Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders are the only complete Apollo crew still alive. Frank Borman and James Lovell, both age 95, are the two oldest surviving Apollo astronauts. Borman, born March 14, 1928, is 11 days older than Lovell, born March 25, 1928. The remaining seven Apollo astronauts still living as of today September 10, 2023 and the Apollo mission number(s) they were on are: Buzz Aldrin 11 David Scott 9, 15 Charles Duke 16 Harrison Schmitt 17 Tom Stafford 10 Fred Haise 13 Ken Mattingly 16
Theres something about Lovell. All of the astronauts were truly special, extraordinary men but Jim might be the greatest of them all. That guy is the essence of coolness.

Its wonder of the moon’s surface and beauty of the Earthrise just put me in awe, and the reading of Genesis on Christmas Eve filled me with reverence of our place on tiny Earth.

@@jimoberg3326 Yeah, back then I had 22 year old, thin Floridian blood. It WAS cold! But so worth the wait to see a flock of terrified birds swoop skyward after liftoff, then ripples come toward us across what had been a mirror surfaced inlet. And that crackling sound!

First thing he said was, "Sorry. I know you were expecting Tom Hanks!"

It's amazing when you think of the earth from space, and all the human history, Alexander the great, Genghis Khan, Hitler, the Roman empire, etc., etc. all the human drama, all to be covered by Lovell's thumb.
I’ve always wished I’d been around in 1969 to witness the moon landing live. It’s such an incredible moment for humanity. Now with new missions planned I’m excited to see humans heading back to the moon!

Man saw the insignificance of his being from that short distance between the Earth and the Moon in that small blue marble that we call Home... Man also woke up to the folly that was the damage he has been doing to our small insignificant life boat in the middle of the cosmos... this image is definitely one of the defining images of human history, not just the 20th Century... And the beginning of the Word of God described our insignificance more fully, more fervently than this... A Blessed Christmas and a Hopeful New Year ahead of us... In our lonely blue marble...
Great presentation! Thanks, NASA! I believe I witnessed the blastoff of that great Saturn rocket. My memory is sure about that, but, living in Florida at that time, we saw 3 of those Saturn-Apollo spacecraft's leave the Cape for the moon. I will never forget Apollo 13 which almost turned out in a disaster. Then there were the two Space Shuttle disasters and fortunately all the other Space Shuttle flights that were successful! That Apollo 8 certainly made it place in Space Science and for Planet Earth and the United States!
I'm so embarrassed... I'm 44... I think of myself as a bright person aware of social events... I never realized we got to the Moon BEFORE the famous Apollo 11 mission with Armstrong and Aldrin landing and stepping foot on the Moon... I didn't realize a crew had been there circling around the Moon beforehand. Sure, they didn't land. But it's still an amazing Soviet-crushing feat. That alone would've destroyed the morale of the red Soviets.
Actually, the USSR took it in stride. Pravda published a congratulatory editorial saluting the Apollo 8 crew members by name. A lot of people in the Soviet space program were pleased that the Kremlin abandoned the idea of landing people on the moon, as deaths had happened from too much political pressure to be fast. This freed up their people and resources to concentrate on space stations and Venus landings, which they did quite well.
@@brianarbenz7206 I suppose. I'm glad the Russians did those Venera missions. Their surface pictures are all we've got. Too bad they had so many problems and it took a million times. But good on them for not giving up. It took them 10 tries before getting decent Venus pics of its surface. So... they earned that one.
CBS did great on this story until they trotted out ALGORE. The real heros were the Astronauts, the Engineers and the people in the government who believed in the mission. ALGORE did little if anything for space exploration.
All three are still alive! Trivia: only Apollo 8 and Apollo 9 share the distinction of the entire crew being alive as of today. Of the 12 people who walked on the moon, only 4 are still alive today. That tells you how rare is for an entire crew to still be here.
Yes, GOD is very real!!! We went to the moon & GOD wills it, we will go back soon! The Bible: Word of GOD is truer than our existence. Without CHRIST our LORD, there be nothing & no hope without our SAVIOR....Praise the LORD GOD of Hosts, from everlasting to everlasting. Thou Art GOD....RMA; Bakersfield, Ca....
I absolutely loved this video and what they said I wasn't born when this happend I was minus 7 years this has been the first time I've viewed it and the world looked beatiful they took photos of the earth they were supposed to take photos of the moon but they done the earth and that was amazing
@@michaelbailey702 What happens when you can no longer worship Diaper Don the Double Diaper Depends Dufas. Keep donating to Donny, diapers are expensive.
"Earthrise" (4:47) was actually tilted 90 degrees to the right from the original photo. That is, the original photo had the earth on the left, and the moon on the right.
James Sn - In space, such a thing doesn’t matter. Since it was taken near the Moon, with the Moon in the photo, it was reasonable to show it from the perspective of the Moon.
The Saturn V, undoubtedly the most unbelievable achievement of man kind. This rocket will never be duplicated. To see Al gore was truly disappointing, a true thorn in the side of great achievement .
@5:09 these photos are worth breaking orders for. Humanity had never seen their home before (and they maybe have) but it was a moment that had to happen.
That was the first time I ever heard God's word read . I didnt know then it was God's word , I was 15 then . 15 years later , I met the Author Himself .
The good thing about this picture is that both religious-minded people and secular, more science-oriented people, can both look at this picture and find beauty, wonder, and affirmation of their beliefs..... so maybe hold on to that uniting notion instead.
Save your (dubious) preaching for church. To say "not having faith"="faith" is an obvious complete contradiction of itself. Here we're celebrating Apollo 8, which was only possible through science.
All this carping in the comments about Al Gore’s presence is ridiculous. He said nothing controversial in this video. Apollo 8’s legacy is the discovery of Spaceship Earth and all Gore does here is to (correctly) explain the significance of Anders’ “Earthrise” photo. In my group in that day, Richard Nixon was the politician we loved to hate. But it does not bother me in the least to see and hear Nixon welcoming the Apollo 11 astronauts back to Earth. I’ve known some people who can never set politics aside for a moment, no matter the occasion or how much time has passed. They are unhappy people. That’s no way to live.
Let us look forward. Anders thinks we should be content to only send robotic missions. Borman thinks we should send men,, but just for 'flags and footprints'. I am with exploration, and colonization. I suspect that any colonizers of Mars will die there, I even expect that. But there was once and then twice, a Roanoke Colony, 1585 and then 1587. No trace of the people who stayed was ever found. There are two people right this moment racing across Antarctica,, each trying to be the first to cross the continent alone and unaided. Let us go see and go do.
I was 10 years old that Christmas and my Mom had just died less than a week prior from the Hong Kong Flu so yeah, at that time I couldn't have cared less and Christmas was forever more dead to me.
Oh no. That’s very sad. I’m so sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences. I was a young married mother of 2 at that time and we all ended up with that horrible Hong Kong Flu! It was the worst, most dreadful sickness ever! I’ve never been physically the same since. Wishing you the best on this Christmas Day.
The Apollo 8 photo of Earth helped to start Earth Day. It brought awareness of how we should care for the environment. Legislation for clean air & water began. What's wrong with Al Gore speaking about Apollo 8's impact on the environmental movement on Earth?
@@JohnM3665570 You will have to do your own research into that. They have memory holed almost everything from pre 1950. Before the fake "moon landing'" this was the prevailing view in academia. I have talked to scientists from this era myself. It was also believed that space was completely black in the visual spectrum. Simply that the ability to see objects like the sun/moon were based on an interaction with the nobel gases in the air. This is actually quite evident with high altitude balloon footage where stars become dimmer and dimmer as the balloon ascends. The video below (search for it) is an interesting piece of that deleted history. Today this guy comes across as a crackpot, but in 1950 this was the scientific view ( obviously not as far as the public were concerned ) 1965 scientist claims the moon is plasma, landing on it won’t be possible
Happy Birthday James "Jim" Arthur Lovell Jr. born on March 25, 1928. He is an American retired astronaut, naval aviator, test pilot and mechanical engineer. In 1968, as command module pilot of Apollo 8, he became, with Frank Borman and William Anders, one of the first three astronauts to fly to and orbit the Moon. He then commanded the Apollo 13 lunar mission in 1970 which, after a critical failure en route, circled the Moon and returned safely to Earth. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Lovell

CAUTION ..reality check ahead . First this picture of earth was taken in low orbit closer than 200miles above earth through a window cropping the lower part of the earth . Job #1 would be to take moving pictures of the whole earth spinning . 150billion dollars and 50 years later , NASA admits they have no such photo or video from the moon of the whole earth . All are computer generated . 29 volts was their power for cooling and heating and video and lights per the schematics of the lunar lander . No stars are in the background around earth . The horizon of the moon is too close as it is a studio with NO STARS . Why no real photo of the whole earth from space ? Because they made movies instead . Man can not pass through the van allen radiation belts today safely per NASA Orion program . Robert Simmons created all photos of earth on computers from strips of data as he admits no real photo exists . The telemetry from all moon landings was destroyed according to NASA . The dune buggies taken to the moon were 150 million dollars each and had fixed fenders 1'' inch from the tires which would be fake due to the weight and lack of needing them . No cops on the moon . How do you propel or slow down in the vacuum of space ? The lack of stars is the easiest fraud to detect .This earth photo is described in detail in " a funny thing happened on the way to the moon " documentary by Sibell .The official photos of NASA show how fake all the moon landings are / were . A fraud by free masons also who operate NASA and the international space program with other countries participating in the hoax . All the horizons are the sameor very close like a movie set . Stanley Kubrik admitted to making some of the fake films . He did 2001 a space odysey . It was much clearer and had stars . The stars here would have given away their fakery by being in the wrong place . If weare spinning 1067 mph at the equator and hurtling around the sun at 66,600 mph , while the sun is traveling 450,000 mph . Why are the constellations always in the same place ? Six trips to the moon and all we get is this FAKE photo of low orbit partial clouded blue marble , unrecognizable contnents and too much clouds . Or are those chem trails ? All NASA 12 computer generated photo shop pictures of the earth show varying sizes of the contnents in relation to the perimeter of the earth as shown . In other words NASA faked them all including the one shown . What on earth are they hiding all these years ? No satellites photos showing 20,000 satellites in low orbit around the earth either . Only CGI , and every one beLIEves them to be real . Naysaying and condemnation , with out investigation is the highest form of ignorance " -albert einstein
DON MCKINNEY - The Earth is not cropped. It’s a gibbous Earth just like we see a gibbous Moon. Part of the image of Earth is in shadow, so it is dark because the exposure is set for the sunlit parts. “Earthrise” is a straight photograph of the entire Earth.
Started out great. Spun off the rails with typical media Gore-gasm. Boreman, Lovell and Anders are American heroes - Al Gore is a nut and didn’t belong in this story.
Still can't understand why they won't swing Hubble around and take a picture instead of creating an "earth rise" with different size continents every couple years...and then admit they photo shopped it because they had to. I guess they know best.
Really, Mac Tek? If only I'd known that were possible, I'd have requested several years later, so I could be a youth in the '90s and done online dating better!
Congratz bradyspace, your stupidity is showing. Here is a little tip, research something called "exposure" in photography. Wonder how many times people have to tell you this. For the record, if this was faked, why on earth do you think they would forget to add stars...? Your logic is astounding.
The camera exposures and F-stops were adjusted to take pictures of the brightly lit moon below the orbiting spacecraft. As such the stars were to dim to show up in the photographs. Its the same thing as gong outside during the daytime on earth and trying to photograph the stars. A camera or your eyes will only be able to see the sun and the moon if it is risen. But to see any stars you'd have to wait until night time.
The astro nots never claimed to see stars from the moon. So, why all the gab about fstops and exposure? They say its easier to convince of a lie then convince them theyve been lied to. Not sure why people need their moon fantasies.
@@bradyspace On the sunlit side of the moon they couldn't see stars but on the dark side they could. The human eye works like a camera in that the iris opens and closes depending on the amount of light present. So the analogy to F-stops and exposure fits. All in all there is too much hard physical and documentary evidence to not believe that the moon landings were real. I've seen lots of it myself. In contrast any of the claims made by hoaxers have been repeatedly debunked.
Whatever your religious or political views might be, seeing earthrise puts it all in perspective. That's us. That little blue ball is the place where THE ENTIRETY of all human history occurred and it's so small and insignificant.

@@brianarbenz7206 I suppose. I'm glad the Russians did those Venera missions. Their surface pictures are all we've got. Too bad they had so many problems and it took a million times. But good on them for not giving up. It took them 10 tries before getting decent Venus pics of its surface. So... they earned that one.
RIP Bill Anders.
Just saw the news story.
CBS did great on this story until they trotted out ALGORE. The real heros were the Astronauts, the Engineers and the people in the government who believed in the mission. ALGORE did little if anything for space exploration.
Afterburner - They didn’t include him for his contribution to space exploration. Apollo 8 is about Spaceship Earth, above all.
Gore is great. Al never told the world he "landed "on the moon. Respect him for that.
heroes for what. pretending they went to the moon. Spare me.
@@maxsmith695 - Must be tough to be so uneducated and ignorant.

Now, we barely try to go back to the Moon. What glorious days!
Actually we are going back to the moon with the Artimis moon program we should have Americans back on the moon before 2030.
Frank Borman is still alive.
All three are still alive! Trivia: only Apollo 8 and Apollo 9 share the distinction of the entire crew being alive as of today.
Of the 12 people who walked on the moon, only 4 are still alive today. That tells you how rare is for an entire crew to still be here.
Borman and Lovell are the two oldest living American astronauts.

My favorite Apollo mission.
I absolutely loved this video and what they said I wasn't born when this happend I was minus 7 years this has been the first time I've viewed it and the world looked beatiful they took photos of the earth they were supposed to take photos of the moon but they done the earth and that was amazing
Let there be light 232... merry Christmas ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Frank Borman is a hero and we Americans actually did go to the moon we have the evidence to prove it.
"Earthrise" (4:47) was actually tilted 90 degrees to the right from the original photo. That is, the original photo had the earth on the left, and the moon on the right.
James Sn - In space, such a thing doesn’t matter. Since it was taken near the Moon, with the Moon in the photo, it was reasonable to show it from the perspective of the Moon.
The Saturn V, undoubtedly the most unbelievable achievement of man kind. This rocket will never be duplicated. To see Al gore was truly disappointing, a true thorn in the side of great achievement .
@5:09 these photos are worth breaking orders for. Humanity had never seen their home before (and they maybe have) but it was a moment that had to happen.
And 50 years later we still sit amid turmoil. Thanks for the "beacon of hope".
Fake moon landing.
That was the first time I ever heard God's word read . I didnt know then it was God's word , I was 15 then . 15 years later , I met the Author Himself .
I can't believe people don't believe in God. It takes much faith to not believe.
It may take much faith, but you don’t have to send money so Joel Osteen and Rick Warren can live in mansions.
The good thing about this picture is that both religious-minded people and secular, more science-oriented people, can both look at this picture and find beauty, wonder, and affirmation of their beliefs..... so maybe hold on to that uniting notion instead.
Allah and Thor appreciate your worship.
Save your (dubious) preaching for church. To say "not having faith"="faith" is an obvious complete contradiction of itself. Here we're celebrating Apollo 8, which was only possible through science.
Well, it's hard for me to believe after seeing this picture people still believe in god or whatever supernatural being.
All this carping in the comments about Al Gore’s presence is ridiculous. He said nothing controversial in this video. Apollo 8’s legacy is the discovery of Spaceship Earth and all Gore does here is to (correctly) explain the significance of Anders’ “Earthrise” photo.
In my group in that day, Richard Nixon was the politician we loved to hate. But it does not bother me in the least to see and hear Nixon welcoming the Apollo 11 astronauts back to Earth.
I’ve known some people who can never set politics aside for a moment, no matter the occasion or how much time has passed. They are unhappy people. That’s no way to live.
Let us look forward. Anders thinks we should be content to only send robotic missions. Borman thinks we should send men,, but just for 'flags and footprints'. I am with exploration, and colonization. I suspect that any colonizers of Mars will die there, I even expect that. But there was once and then twice, a Roanoke Colony, 1585 and then 1587. No trace of the people who stayed was ever found. There are two people right this moment racing across Antarctica,, each trying to be the first to cross the continent alone and unaided.
Let us go see and go do.
I was 10 years old that Christmas and my Mom had just died less than a week prior from the Hong Kong Flu so yeah, at that time I couldn't have cared less and Christmas was forever more dead to me.
Oh no. That’s very sad. I’m so sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences.
I was a young married mother of 2 at that time and we all ended up with that horrible Hong Kong Flu! It was the worst, most dreadful sickness ever! I’ve never been physically the same since.
Wishing you the best on this Christmas Day.
You have my sympathies, my friend. That was terribly tragic. Hope lots of good memories of her fill your days.
So the story of the most famous photograph becomes an ad for Al Gore, Inc. Nope, no bias here.
Jealous much?
It's a fake anyway.
No, it is not. More likely, you are. Grow a pair.
I am sorry you feel a need to be sour and petty on this occasion, ludovicoC
Yeah, I almost fell out of my chair.
Don’t forget Whole Earth Catalog, which used “Earthrise” on its cover.
I remember the photo as the cover of The Whole Earth Catalog.
Turned off when this turned into a paid advertisement for al gore.

So we celebrate Apollo 8 with Al Gore? Seriously?
The Apollo 8 photo of Earth helped to start Earth Day. It brought awareness of how we should care for the environment.
Legislation for clean air & water began. What's wrong with Al Gore speaking about Apollo 8's impact on the environmental movement on Earth?

I was so wrong for so long. I thought the moon was made out of cheese.
plasma. But hey you cant land on either .
@@decadent. , The Moon is not made of plasma. Where would you get such a claim?
@@JohnM3665570
You will have to do your own research into that. They have memory holed almost everything from pre 1950.
Before the fake "moon landing'" this was the prevailing view in academia. I have talked to scientists from this era myself.
It was also believed that space was completely black in the visual spectrum. Simply that the ability to see objects like the sun/moon were based on an interaction with the nobel gases in the air.
This is actually quite evident with high altitude balloon footage where stars become dimmer and dimmer as the balloon ascends.
The video below (search for it) is an interesting piece of that deleted history. Today this guy comes across as a crackpot, but in 1950 this was the scientific view ( obviously not as far as the public were concerned )
1965 scientist claims the moon is plasma, landing on it won’t be possible

Really ? They had to put Crooked Gore in this Video. He has pulled off the Greatest Scam on human kind over.
His part was appropriate to the topic of this video.
I dislike when people mention Columbus instead of Leif Erikson, the real discoverer of America.
America was inhabited before either of those men arrived.
Great video except for shoe horning Al Gore and his pablum into it. Unnecessary.
Learn from the Earthrise photo, it is not to late. Gore did not produce this video.
Yeah that was a pretty obnoxious thing to do.

Happy Birthday James "Jim" Arthur Lovell Jr. born on March 25, 1928. He is an American retired astronaut, naval aviator, test pilot and mechanical engineer. In 1968, as command module pilot of Apollo 8, he became, with Frank Borman and William Anders, one of the first three astronauts to fly to and orbit the Moon. He then commanded the Apollo 13 lunar mission in 1970 which, after a critical failure en route, circled the Moon and returned safely to Earth. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Lovell

CAUTION ..reality check ahead . First this picture of earth was taken in low orbit closer than 200miles above earth through a window cropping the lower part of the earth . Job #1 would be to take moving pictures of the whole earth spinning . 150billion dollars and 50 years later , NASA admits they have no such photo or video from the moon of the whole earth . All are computer generated . 29 volts was their power for cooling and heating and video and lights per the schematics of the lunar lander . No stars are in the background around earth . The horizon of the moon is too close as it is a studio with NO STARS . Why no real photo of the whole earth from space ? Because they made movies instead . Man can not pass through the van allen radiation belts today safely per NASA Orion program . Robert Simmons created all photos of earth on computers from strips of data as he admits no real photo exists . The telemetry from all moon landings was destroyed according to NASA . The dune buggies taken to the moon were 150 million dollars each and had fixed fenders 1'' inch from the tires which would be fake due to the weight and lack of needing them . No cops on the moon . How do you propel or slow down in the vacuum of space ? The lack of stars is the easiest fraud to detect .This earth photo is described in detail in " a funny thing happened on the way to the moon " documentary by Sibell .The official photos of NASA show how fake all the moon landings are / were . A fraud by free masons also who operate NASA and the international space program with other countries participating in the hoax . All the horizons are the sameor very close like a movie set . Stanley Kubrik admitted to making some of the fake films . He did 2001 a space odysey . It was much clearer and had stars . The stars here would have given away their fakery by being in the wrong place . If weare spinning 1067 mph at the equator and hurtling around the sun at 66,600 mph , while the sun is traveling 450,000 mph . Why are the constellations always in the same place ? Six trips to the moon and all we get is this FAKE photo of low orbit partial clouded blue marble , unrecognizable contnents and too much clouds . Or are those chem trails ? All NASA 12 computer generated photo shop pictures of the earth show varying sizes of the contnents in relation to the perimeter of the earth as shown . In other words NASA faked them all including the one shown . What on earth are they hiding all these years ? No satellites photos showing 20,000 satellites in low orbit around the earth either . Only CGI , and every one beLIEves them to be real . Naysaying and condemnation , with out investigation is the highest form of ignorance " -albert einstein
DON MCKINNEY - The Earth is not cropped. It’s a gibbous Earth just like we see a gibbous Moon. Part of the image of Earth is in shadow, so it is dark because the exposure is set for the sunlit parts. “Earthrise” is a straight photograph of the entire Earth.
Glaube Mut Liebe.
Started out great. Spun off the rails with typical media Gore-gasm. Boreman, Lovell and Anders are American heroes - Al Gore is a nut and didn’t belong in this story.

How long has the earth been going, Mr Gore ? Do you really think puny humans can DO IT IN ???
Given our propensity for building destructive devices beyond comprehension, yes, I would say we can.

Nice low earth orbit photo from a window.
Still can't understand why they won't swing Hubble around and take a picture instead of creating an "earth rise" with different size continents every couple years...and then admit they photo shopped it because they had to. I guess they know best.
That was 1968, not 1295!
Here is something you can try, take a telescope and look at something 2 yards away. How does that look eh?
So if you believe they can send a massive space telescope in orbit, but not a rocket to the moon?

Only pic where the moon surface looks like it was taken with a thermal camera for a "lunar" looking effect. No stars in space again of course.
What should there be?
Congratz bradyspace, your stupidity is showing. Here is a little tip, research something called "exposure" in photography. Wonder how many times people have to tell you this. For the record, if this was faked, why on earth do you think they would forget to add stars...? Your logic is astounding.
The camera exposures and F-stops were adjusted to take pictures of the brightly lit moon below the orbiting spacecraft. As such the stars were to dim to show up in the photographs. Its the same thing as gong outside during the daytime on earth and trying to photograph the stars. A camera or your eyes will only be able to see the sun and the moon if it is risen. But to see any stars you'd have to wait until night time.
The astro nots never claimed to see stars from the moon. So, why all the gab about fstops and exposure? They say its easier to convince of a lie then convince them theyve been lied to. Not sure why people need their moon fantasies.
@@bradyspace On the sunlit side of the moon they couldn't see stars but on the dark side they could. The human eye works like a camera in that the iris opens and closes depending on the amount of light present. So the analogy to F-stops and exposure fits. All in all there is too much hard physical and documentary evidence to not believe that the moon landings were real. I've seen lots of it myself. In contrast any of the claims made by hoaxers have been repeatedly debunked.
Fake
Of course
