This video started initially when I was interested in photography history and NASA. As I did research though, I kinda narrowed on Earthrise - I was fascinated by how such a famous photo could be such an unplanned, nearly accidental thing. Even if you don’t buy my argument, I hope you enjoy seeing some of these amazing photos and learning about some of the cool experiments.

Here’s a NASA 101 that’s very digestible. It focuses on still photography during Apollo and helped me get my footing.

It’s surprisingly complicated to find the right or best copies of the photo, and it ends up being a bit of a judgment call. This site provides what they say are unedited scans in really high resolution (as well as copies in more manageable sizes and with some editing). I felt like I didn’t really color correct the images I used “right,” but I preferred having duller images to ones that had been super edited in ways I couldn’t judge. Anyway, your mileage may vary - check it out for yourself!

This is your best place to check quotes, chronology, and get all the little details on events, as well as clarifications on confusing stuff. So I think this is a fun place to nerd out.
Here’s a version of the Earthrise recreation NASA did (a few copies all over).

Here’s Jennifer Levasseur’s dissertation. This really is what gave me my footing. For a while, I thought I’d need to figure out how to include her in it because it felt like a straight up adaptation. But as I read on, there were a lot of places I diverged and the scope of her thing was a lot bigger.
However, you’ll see where I got the vibe of this video and why I focused primarily on Hasselblad and Ansco Autoset.
Very influential and worth a read!

OK, I can’t resist one more specific link here - nice synopsis of Apollo 8 photography specifically. This is what I’m talking about - they get really niche! I just had to figure out how to keep it detailed and still tell a story.

Oh, here’s John Glenn’s memoir!
amzn.to/484KOaK
I won’t pretend I read it though - I was just mining for camera facts! He actually calls the Ansco Autoset a Minolta, which I think is wrong because Minolta bought them later (Smithsonian calls it an Autoset). Anyway, the dude is like the last American hero, so I wasn’t gonna call him out on that in the video, hence the elision in the quote.
I work at JSC in the photo lab. I have personally digitized all the Mercury, Gemini, & Apollo astronaut photography, frame by frame, at least once. I do not get much context when I'm scanning, just what I see on the film and a NASA assigned frame number, for example AS08-14-2383. This video really touched me, an abundance of context. Also so much that was very familiar. I loved the segment on the color and data charts taken on earth before the missions shot on the first frame of each roll. Those images don't get a NASA number so I wasn't required to scan them but I do and just replace the frame number with the word "CHART". This is the first time I've seen that someone pays attention to them. Also that photo of Wally Schirra holding that Hasselblad hangs in a hallway in our area in building 8. I will be sharing this with my coworkers & friends. Thank you.
amazing! thank you for doing it!! we all benefit.
Random question for you, but what is the NASA assigned frame number for earthrise?
Generally I think it's AS08-14-2383, though AS08-14-2384 is similar (more horizontal moon). It starts in magazine 14 here. tothemoon.ser.asu.edu/gallery/Apollo/8/Hasselblad%20500EL%2070%20mm@@benwaardenburg
And now this is getting shared amongst the photographers at Kennedy Space Center as well! ☺️
Thanks Phil, I was thrilled when I wrote Nasa as aspace mad teenage 13 year old brit and asked for info and they sent back a large envelope of prints and data sheets.in 1966.
"Person infodumps about their latest hyperfixation" is my favorite genre of youtube. Thank you for creating great videos Phil! Your research and passion always shine through.
The word 'hyperfixation' really has lost its meaning. There isn't being interested in something anymore. There is only being hyperfixated on something.
Yea but this isn't that, you wanna see hyper fixation go look up uno amalgam. This is just a video essay.
I'll sub to that
All secrets are known so the only way of life is to hyperfixate on topics now.
Well, to some there is no more knowledge or secrets anyway @SenkJu
HAHAHA - epic comment
Remarkable that NASA had to be reminded that when you go on a trip, bring a camera. Take lots of pictures.
They are not going on a photo tour.
And when they make some photos a bunch of science-deniers shout "it's fake".
So what...
@@guruware8612 Did you even watch the video or are you just here for the comments?
Bill Anders is a big supporter of the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival, which I photograph every summer. Several years ago they commissioned a chamber piece, "Earthrise," in honor of this photo. I was 12 when the photo was taken, and I closely followed the space program. When I first met Anders at the festival, I asked him about taking this photo. Hearing the story directly was a thrill. And I'm glad to have learned even more of the background from this video.
ngl, For the quality of content and information that phil provides, i am just waiting for him to kick off into the millions!
He's full time now!
Yeah the quality is incredible. And the narratives he crafts. I think he will see growth more and more, I always am sharing his videos to people I know.
Agreed Phil is the best!
Yeah I find him better than Johnny Harris. I like that guy as well but Phil just seems like that favorite teacher from High School.
Agreed
4:50 those wind tunnel photos are sublime; I’d love to see them on a large scale
aren't they amazing? i wanna see them in person.
They just look so grand
They are incredible! I love the culture back then and the forethought that was put into capturing these things and events. I work in government now and I assure you that is NOT happening at the scale that it should. So much isn’t documented.
@@twosheafilms Specifically the amount of photography/recording/etc? It is a bit saddening to compare the furor of how much was recorded and photographed in the Apollo program (or even the earlier programs) to now. I do latch onto things like NASA's press photos and everything on images.nasa but I still feel it's not as expansive. Do you know what's being missed that should be?
Things like the wind tunnel are especially cool, "big industrial stuff, person for scale" is my favorite genre of photography lol
@@g1234538 I think the reluctance centers around counterintelligence concerns, as well as the theft of intellectual property. So I feel like cameras are banned most places I've seen.
As a scientist, photographer, and huge space nerd, this video spoke to my soul.
Thank you Phil.
Have you come to the conclusion that man has never left low earth orbit?
@@tmo4330
if you see what Artimus 3 will need to reach the moon its impossible to believe we went with the original builds , its going to need 15 - 20 other rockets to meet up and dock at set intervals to refill air tanks and remove spent oxygen and other stuff.
I hung this photo over the fireplace at my first home. It is a statement of my generation. This story of how the photo was taken is amazing!
The statement of my generation is "we can't get past low earth orbit no matter how hard we try".
Firmament
Imagine how big the earth would really look if you could stand on the moon
I have Apollo 11’s Earth Rise up in my bedroom. You can make out Australia. It’s stunning.
@@Space_Rebelflashy photo effects did exist back then. Film that could go above 600km above the earth without being completely ruined never has.
This video is an embarrassment for the people of the USA.
The more years pass since the Apollo fraud, the more their intellect and knowledge of reality seems to evaporate.
They get more pathetic and moronic with every desperate attempt to claim that Apollo really went to the moon. 🙄
I was in high school when this Apollo mission occurred, and trust me - everyone was blown away by this picture. It's difficult, now, to imagine a time when you couldn't see Earth from space, but it's fun to remember that feeling of awe we all felt, looking at this picture. And, we have NASA and its Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions, to thank - along with all those who made it possible for us to go 'off-planet', and to see what we saw.
That’s a beautiful thought. We’ve all wanted to re watch our favorite movie or listen to that one song for the first time again. I can’t imagine what it was like for everyone to see that blue marble for the first time together.
You're so lucky to have lived through that and all the other advancements. I think I was in middle school when VHS tapes became obsolete and that's the only thing I've witnessed. Everything in life seems so boring and static. I don't see changes happening (for the better).
@@terenarosa4790 It does feel sometimes, as though we don't aspire to anything much, other than making money-money-money, anymore. I have lived long enough to have witnessed many changes and advancements, an well as some pretty horrific stuff. But, I believe that we certainly can, and will someday soon, come to realize that there's so much more we can do, as long as we can come together and dream it up. :)
@@TheDkbohde That's the feeling - exactly. :)
@@YHWH711yet you have no proof. Just as every other denier. Ever notice it's always high-school dropouts and armchair physicists and engineers that can't even decipher a free body diagram and never anyone with credibility and credentials?
Phil, I enjoyed your perspective. From 1966 to 1986 I produced planetarium shows for three of Canada’s major planetariums. The American space program was guided by scientists. These good people can imagine what things look like - they want data, not snapshots. Planetarium audiences need to see how things look, and data are just nice talking points. I remember my frustration when I’d read a scientific paper with excellent verbal descriptions backed up by excellent data, and I’d say out loud, “Yes, but what does it look like!” Remember that first single picture of the whole earth from space - weather, landforms, but no political boundaries? Even I was surprised at how moved so many people were when they saw it. Of course, that was the way our planet looked - that single space craft that is the only home for all of us.
Scientists?
You mean the nazi occultist genociders?
As a kid, I had a huge mural of this photo that covered one entire wall of my bedroom...as a young science nerd, it was ultra cool, and one of my favorite childhood memories. Every day, I imagined I was standing there on the lunar surface, in front of that gorgeous scene. Thanks for this wonderful "making of" deep dive!
It's not a photo. It's fake. Tear up that mural and throw it in the trash where it belongs.
"They stole that shot."
Wow, this really is an incredible video, and that statement is absolutely perfect! 35 years in pro, retail, fine art, and amateur hobby photography and I've never heard this before. Very well done, sir! Thank you!
I couldn’t help recite Carl Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot” in my head seeing that picture.
The text almost always brings me to tears knowing that our fate rests in the hands of a sparse few who value personal power and profits over our very existence.
There is no Planet “B”.
Another incredible image of humanity that almost wasn't taken
While I understand your perspective on the few at the top, who are selected by a process which tends to make them the least qualified to be there, one could also have the takeaway that most of humanity is far better ...
Yes it's not cheap and we pay for every nail screw staple while people starve . space great we will need it when this planet is finished . sort us out before we pollute space we are good run by evil
The pale blue dot photo put everything in perspective for me. How amazing and how frightening that image is. Our only home we’ve ever known.
This is an excellent video. When you talked about how unlikely the photo was, it made me think that maybe most of the great photos were accidents of being in the right place, at the right time, having a decent camera, and taking the shot at the precise moment.
One of those cases was in the photograph "Bliss", which is most well-known for being the default desktop wallpaper in Windows XP. The photographer (Charles O'Rear) was driving along the Napa Valley in California when he noticed a lush green hill to the side and decided to take some pictures of it. One of those pictures was noticed by Microsoft, who then bought the photo and thus made it the default wallpaper in Windows XP.
For some reason, my mind immediately went to the famous "Double Rainbow" video.
Yeah, it's not a photo, I know, but still
i was afraid he was going to say it's not real/is made up..
One of the most important images, let alone photograph, ever created. Every single human who had ever lived, save three, was in the frame of that photograph. It's importance cannot be overstated.
Thank you so much. My Dad worked on the Apollo program. He was a Mechanical Eng. who worked on the Launch gantry and like his son, me, an avid photographer. Really appreciated the time and effort you put into creating this video. Take care
And this, folks, is what journalism looks like. Stellar job on this. I’ve read those transcripts and books by the astronauts who were up there but it never fit all the pieces together like you just did. Finding all the context is one thing but stringing them into a cohesive narrative is the real talent. ❤
hey thanks a lot, i actually had a moderate amount of anxiety figuring out what to cut and leave in, so i do appreciate you noticing that the culling was for a purpose!
@@PhilEdwardsIncyou definitely have a touch for finding the story narrative for these videos. It never feels forced, never feels rushed or patched together. Top tier quality RUclips. We appreciate it, and you.
Replying to bump because it needs to be done. This video should be in any course of study in so many fields - photography, space exploration, journalism, psychology ... . This kind of journalism used to be the norm. It needs to come back.
It blows me away that photographic documentation of NASAs trips to space were almost an afterthought.
Even more so that they taped over the original moon landing due to a lack of tapes🤦
@coreyernewein…It’s also odd that we haven’t been back to the moon since the 70’s and we taped over the original video evidence. You got to wonder if any of it really happened at all?
@@drknight27 for sure, makes a fella wonder!
@@drknight27We went back to a dead rock with no natural resources five more times and didn’t record over any of that data. The only people who think we never went have only accepted the input of information that confirms their uneducated belief that the lunar missions were a hoax.
@@coryerneweinNo it doesn’t.
Very nice presentation. When I was a teenager I bought a poster of this shot, and it had a quote from Basil O'connor on it that said “The world cannot continue to wage war like physical giants and to seek peace like intellectual pygmies.” This photo hung on my wall for a long time and I remember staring at it with awe.
Job well done. Thank you sir!
Basil O’conner Was Right 🌎🌏🌍
Keep the ball rolling, Phil! Your work is brilliant, whatever the topic you sublimely present it to both those who know a lot on the subject and those who know next to nothing. You do really unique things!
This is one of the best Video Essays about Photography I've ever watched. I will forever remember the idea that when I go to a location to get a specific shot, that I should look around because I might miss an Earthrise. Well done Phil!
Phil, I have to say that the production value of your videos is getting better and better with every video you release. It's hard to "keep up" with bigger RUclips channels, so I commend you for your efforts and great work. Keep it up!
thank you! more time helps!!
The fact that the astronauts had to ask Nasa if they could bring cameras with them and that Nasa didn't think about that in the first place is insane
I love that photo of the planet Earth in space. It really blew me away when I first saw it. It is the waking up to what we are, who we are and where we are.
Taking a break and drinking from your Stanley tumbler is so peak though.
it was nice cold water
Thank you for making this. I cried. I was 8 years old when this photo was taken. Only 6 months later we walked on the moon, and I wanted to be an astronaut. It was the inspiration that made me an engineer. It was the photo that started the environmental movement. There is a tiny version on the edge of the exhibit in the Chicago Museum where Apollo 8 is on display. I have a print of this photo on the bookshelf in my computer room. Thank you again.
They make a giant wallpaper kit of this image ..you could have an entire wall covered with this image
😇❤
I want that wallpaper 🌏
Do you remember the Whole Earth Catalog?
@ Angela 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Walked on the moon??????? Ya sure.
Having grown up during the 50's, 60's, and 70's, I was truly inspired by the photos and videos from space, but I came to realize later that inspiring people, especially young people such as I was at the time, was not a NASA priority. These were all extremely dangerous scientific missions costing millions of dollars and while they were publicly funded, I don't think NASA really gave much thought to the importance of PR and showing the public clear visions they could see that may justify their tax dollars. That point of view changed slowly over time as the space programs grew in complexity and scope (and expense), but I think there is no doubt that now NASA pays very high attention to "giving a big bang for the buck", and I, for one, am very glad they do.
Amen. NASA's ROI, return on investment, is very high.
I'd like to see NASA put a live cam on the moon looking at earth 🌚
livestreams take a lot of bandwidth and constant uptime - neither of which is available from the few sattelites orbiting the moon like the LRO
Yeah…then we could see it rise and set everyday
@@edwardtakeactiongba2397 actually you wouldn't - the moon doesn't rotate relative to its orbit, so you'd only see earth oscillate a bit in the sky and spin
@@TheAechBomb
You’re right, I was poking fun at them showing a pic and saying the earth is rising….for $66 million per day, NASA should do better than that
They said they would put a satellite on the moon. More crazy bs
Another absolute banger of a video Phil, thanks for keeping me fascinated!
Great stuff, almost got emotional.
Fascinating. I was a kid during all the Apollo missions. We used to watch them at school. Get together with family and friends and watch them. It was such an amazing thing. The 60s changed many things.
And yet we are just the play things of a NHI stuck on earth in a never ending cargo cult.
I went to school for filmmaking and got my BS Degree in Science and I just cried over this story that you have told because it reminds me of a younger kid in me who had so much inspiration to be a filmmaker, who had that exact same intuition... but never became anything in life... So I live through other people like this who have made something that influences and changes the world!
Same
What a great video Phil. Stolen moments are what photography is all about to me. Knowing this story makes this iconic photo all the more beautiful.
Amazing people believe this is a real photograph !!! All of NASA pictures of space are fake. It’s all Composite images or CGI.
Wow. What a fantastic and moving video! Thank you so much for taking the time and putting in the effort to make this!! We really appreciate you!
7:05 my jaw dropped, 10:52 tears in my eyes. An amazing topic covered by an amazing creator. Thank you so much for the in depth research (sources always!) Found you through Vox and am so glad that I can binge your content now that I know about your personal channel lol Super interesting and moving as always. Keep up the incredible work!
Geez Phil, what a GREAT video! I'm 60 now but as a kid, I was mesmerized by all of these NASA images. I also made a living for 22 years as a photographer, used everything from 35mm to large format before going completely digital in 2002. But, not once did I ever really appreciate the challenges that had to be overcome in order to create those early NASA photographs, especially THAT one, until now! SO glad I stumbled on your channel - subscribed! 😊
The excitement in Jim's voice for a photograph, as he orbits the Moon, really warms my heart.
That was a beautiful video! I'm a photographer and journalist now, but I got my start studying aerospace in undergrad.
My grandmother and grandfather met at NASA on the Cape in the 60's. I was mesmerized by her stories of playing tennis at the same spots as the astronauts.
This video took me back to that same childhood wonder that I had when she told me those stories. My heart's still beating.
wow that's awesome! that'd make me romantic about it too.
I am so glad I watched this. When I heard your starting comment, "this should not exist," I almost tuned out, was fearful of conspiracy or flat earth type discussion, not because of the timing and material issues. Thank You!
Timing is not so essential as camera placement for this photo.
People forget that the moon's rotation is mostly locked facing earth.
There's a slight wobble, so the earth would appear slowly to bob up and down somewhat, but it actually never rises nor sets on the moon, just kind of hangs there depending on where on the moon the viewer is located.
I love this documentary!
Great example of how amazing people are - you took one moment of human history and told it beautifuly through your own sensitiveness!
Perfect example of how significant for the World every human is!
Thank you for this video, Phil. As a lifelong space fan (I was born during the Gemini Program and some of my first memories are of watching the early Apollo missions on TV) and as a photographer since my preteen years, this was doubly special to watch.
Phil, sublime video, you are a true artist. Thanks
Agreed, shivers the way it was told.
Your channel just popped up and this video is one of the most interesting I’ve seen in a long time. I got to live through the whole space program and never knew any back story on earth rise. Glad I found your channel.
Phil, you are one of the best RUclipsrs out there. Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new and interesting, even in stories I know a little about like this one. Thanks for always making quality content.
Most wonderful story telling on space photography. Really inspiring. Only you can approach obvious topics from unobvious angles.
Phil - I’m a long time fan but this is your first video that made me cry. It was a great and beautiful look at something amazing.
If you ever find yourself in Hutchinson Kansas they have signed film canisters from every Apollo mission (and more).
Thank you! Not many creators do a subject the justice it deserves, this surpasses excellent. Well done Phil, subject matter - is amazing, the research - is astounding, the camera presence - is top-notch, and your ability to hold the viewer - is superlative. Thank you again, can't wait for the next one - Subscribed and thumbs up.
Great quality, nicely edited, beautifully narrated, straight forward, informative and entertaining at the same time. Thank you. Subscribed.
I took a physics class in college from retired astronaut Don Lind. Lind was working in mission control during Apollo 8 when the video of the earth rising above the moon was first broadcast. He said the mood in mission control suddenly changed to awed silence. It was a very emotionally powerful experience.
It was epic brain washing cuz we never went to the moon. This photo is not a real photo.
Astronauts don't know physics. They know swinging around on wire harnesses and acting. They know doing scuba dives and calling it "space walks". Pathetic.
Cut and paste earth
If you say so..
@@subvertedworld lol harnesses, dont be silly.
I had no idea there was such a big story around the Camera!!! That picture changed humanity. That was a very important picture in our history that and "The Blue Marble" that spured the idea of earth day and showing how alone we are, just floating in the vacuum of nothingness all alone.
Wow, so breathtaking how this photo was shot... So cool, how you combined different sources and even the audio... Amazing!
Thank you for doing this video. It's one of the most moving I've seen on RUclips.
I watched this while it was happening. And yet had no idea of the story of the photo. Thank you so much for presenting this!! Great story!
Straight up goosebumps at the “they stole this moment…” part of this video 🥹
A great example of the importance of human exploration. It’s not inconceivable someone back at NASA or JPL wouldn’t have had the same intuition, but being there, seeing it in the moment, and realizing the moment needed to be captured on film is more likely if one is there physically.
Great research, very well told. Thank you for making such an unexpectedly captivating video about something I thought would be boring 🙂
I own a Hasselblad 500 C/M and the same focal length that was used for that picture. Even after years I'm still geeking out about having the same setup. It's a beautiful combination, I can highly recommend it.
I had a 500CM but sold it 😖 to buy a computer 🤯, worst decision I ever made😭😭😭😭
Brother, this was beautiful. As a space and art lover you had me welling up on this one. Without this we dont get The Pale Blue Dot.
People will never understand how incredibly awesome it is to have a photo of a v-2 in space.
So much was being learned at this time. The fanaticism focused on weight reduction was the overriding drive in every facet of the early space flights. What resulted was the drive to miniaturization and automation that changed so many everyday products. I love this video as it shows the even greater extent of the enormous growth that mankind has when it takes on the unknown.
I read "this photo shouldn't exist" and assumed the video would be by some flat-earther. I thought, I've got a couple of minutes while I eat breakfast - this will be a lark! Instead, I got to see a really thoughtful and wonderful video about early NASA photography. I have always been enamored by NASA's photography. It has always seemed almost magical to me. This is just a brilliant, brilliant short video that explains how this photo came to be. I am so impressed - well done!
I'm not a flat earther but that picture seems to prove them right NASA already got caught in multiple lies and inside water with bubbles going upwards, also had trash in some of the background of some footage either way the truth will prevail
Same experience. I almost didn't watch it because of the title. Your words of praise I gladly echo!
It possibly feels magical as it actually is. Almost all photos published by NASA are composites from several thousand to millions of frames(every photo is a composite) and then someone in their photography department colours them so NO photo is an actual photograph but a digital composition that has been retouched and coloured so all fake. They denied it for decades until photoshop etc became commercially available to everyone and too many people were able to prove none of their photos are real.
Same. I thought it would be some conspiracy theorist spewing gobbledy-gook about a hoax from the NASA "deep state." Turned out to be such a fascinating film, I watched the entire thing and now have a vastly greater appreciation for this iconic photo.
@@OjiOtaku Yup, I almost skipped it too! As a life long photographer and space enthusiast, I'm glad I watched! Wonderful essay!
WOW this has completely blew my mind and has made me see alot of things I never even knew they were out there
I'm glad that you made this video about the photo. I enjoyed your perspective and knowledge of what all it took just to get to that point and time. Thank you) 🙏
MR Phil i just came across your channel for the first time & i'am so glad i did, really enjoyed it & the info was just super amazine. You have a new fan/subscriber.
Thank you for sharing this videos & now iam going to watch your other videos.
Keep up the amazine work..👍
I have a full size poster of that earth shot on my wall. I live for that image, it is one of the most awesome and inspiring shots I've ever seen. It is one of the ultimate human achievements throughout history. 🌎 📸
Phil, this was superb. I don't think I've been taken on a better journey in less than 15 minutes. Had me super interested from the beginning, but listening to you narrate over the actual audio of Anders, Borman, and Lovell taking the shot gave me goosebumps. Gonna share this with some friends, and watch it again. So, soo good.
Phenomenal video, Phil. The easiest and most engaging 15 minute video I’ve watched. Always look forward to you next subject item.
Wow. The quality of this video, storytelling and information, truly excellent. Thanks.
It amazes me how emotional they all were during the shot. Astronauts on a mission dont usually get like that.
"Calm down" says one astronaut to another 😂😂😂 ... They really got excited about what they were seeing.
Fascinating video and spectacular photography. Remarkable to think John Glenn had to persuade NASA to let him take a camera to space.
I wonder if earth rise would survive a photography competition since the photo was turned and framed differently for the original "untouched" photo. Fantastic video. As an amateur photographer myself I felt a deep emotional realisation watching this video. Thank you so much Phil!
Now this is quality content! Thank you Phil, for giving us all this beautiful gift 🥰 Keep up the great work! May success, health, love and happiness keep always coming your way 😊
I am not crying you are crying 😭❤
Thank you so much for researching "🌎 Rise". My dad worked on the Apollo Lunar Module landing and docking RADAR. I was 9 years old at the time. I loved everthing about the moon missions ...
My favorite photo was Earth Rise ~ but I didn't know the history until now ... Another tear filled moment you've allowed me to re-live again. Profound Thanks ;)
Great video! Entertaining. Very informative. I'm 52, My uncle was a career Air Force photographer. I've seen many cool photos.
These space pics take the Cake. Thanks for sharing a great history lesson!!!
This was pretty fascinating! Thank you for your time and effort put into this. So professionally done, with a personal touch. Subscribed!
I legit got teary-eyed by the end of this story. Thank you so much for sharing. I'll never cease to be amazed by Mercury, Gemini & Apollo era NASA
It was a nice era to grow up in. I still feel the excitement of it all.
First time seeing one of your videos and I have to say the presentation and production are top notch. I was drawn in and fascinated. I watched the video start to finish without interruption which nearly a miracle with my ADHD.
Wow! Phil, that was amazing! Thank you for your research and for sharing this with us!!!!
The production value of all your videos is so impressive
We all live on that blue ball in that photograph, let's call the blue ball "Home" because from down here it appears we don't love it and the life it plays host to as much as we could.
Last summer, we visited the Heritage Flight Museum at Skagit Regional Airport in WA. We found out it belongs to Bill Anders. He is still active with flying. A section there is dedicated to Apollo 8. The Hasselblad camera he used is on display there. It made me shiver to see that famous camera with my own eyes.
This is the second time I've watched your video on this.
It's just fantastic and I keep it around in my YT queue!
What a great video! Thanks for putting it together and putting it out there.
Hmm. If someone just watched the first few minutes this sounded much like a denial that the earthrise photo was taken from moon orbit. Hope those deniers stick around to watch the whole thing that shows that photo was indeed taken by a human circling the moon in a space craft.
They weren’t here to take cool photos of the earth. I’ve never heard such a ridiculous statement in my life. The people wanted to see cool pictures of the earth. But if man didn’t go they couldn’t take those pictures could they
Being an amateur photographer myself, I truly understood Lovell’s enthusiasm about wanting to seize that inspiring moment . . .earth rising 🌏📸👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
From a photographer's perspective, this is so cool and interesting! Thanks for your efforts!
So John Glenn had to convince NASA to bring a camera? Were they going to have a sketch artist instead when he got back?
Wow this is good
NASA is a House of Cards with Paid Actors to Mold a Narrative ! For $50 Million/Day , They have to stay Relevant ! Tread Carefully and Follow the Money !
Our world is FLAT !!!
Flat And Stable ....NOT SPINNING !!!
I was 9yo when this photo was taken and my grandad, who like painting in oils, helped me do a painting of it. So that photo had an impact on my grandad and me.
Love this. Thanks for all the hard work on it!
Thanks very interesting
Have just discovered your channel. (Thank you, YT algorithms) As a child growing up during the early NASA days, I find this fascinating! I SO wanted to be an astronaut, but back then, girls were not welcome in science classes. I know….I tried to get into a high school electronics class but was effectively shut out.
Instead, I built every plastic space model I could find and read every news article and book that my local library had. Learning the incredible history of what went into making this iconic image from space is much, much appreciated.
I can’t wait to explore other videos you have made. Your creativity with camera angles, music, and dialogue is wonderful. Thank you for all the work you put into crafting your videos. 👍
Wow the human beauty of that moment together with the audio just made me weep, the human recognition of beauty that needed to be shared
Thanks for that! Finally an interesting view without prejudice. 😮
Not me getting teary-eyed listening to those astronauts gush over how pretty Earth is when I've seen those photos since I was a kid… What must it have been like to see ourselves from the outside for the first time?
Beautiful and fascinating video! You've earned my sub 💕
The moon surface on those photos straight up looks like it was made in a 3d game engine without any shadows rendering...
I don't know what caused that but it looks extremely weird.
Shadows are sharp on the moon as there is no atmosphere to scatter sunlight. The pictures were taken on Analog Kodak film in 1968.
I’ve always loved that shot but you made me appreciate it so much more now I know how it very nearly never happened! What a great video! Keep up the great work! 👏👏👏👏
This is incredible. Thanks for the awesome video Phil!
