Apollo 8 Astronaut Shares Story Behind Iconic 'Earthrise' Photo | TODAY
One of my favourite photos of all time. Thank you Bill Anders!
In the history of space flight, Apollo 8 has always been my favorite mission. These guys really did it. They went where no one had gone before.
Take that Star Trek.
Eight knocked out of the park and into next year!
I have always believed that these three guys saved 1968.
i remember this well, i was home on leave and got to see it on tv. it is still a very profound image and words. has always brought me to tears of joy and wonderment.
Ditto....One of my favorite photos of all time. Thank you Bill Anders!.......Thank you Bill....you will not be forgotten....
I'll never forget the 1968 Christmas Eve telecast. These Apollo astronauts were, and still are, REAL heroes.
I was barely alive, 3 months old, but I do remember the final Apollo missions in 1972.
I was too young to remember it when it happened but looking at the picture of the earth from the moon even now is very beautiful & very impressive 2say the least..God Bless the astronauts of Apollo 8..
I watch this just about every month to remind myself that not everything in this world is hate fueled.
In memory of Bill Anders. Rest in Power
"We came all this way to explore the moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth."
Rest in peace. May the eternal sunrise shine on your soul for ever.
I stayed up all night (UK) to watch the moon landing live.
What lucky ducks these guys were!! Bravo guys!
That wasnt a hasselblad , that was a hasselhoff! 😂
My 19th birthday 12-24-68 I can't recall a single memory of that day. If I was orbiting the moon I'd remember.
I remember it like yesterday. I was 17.
50 years ago, Apollo 8 orbited the Moon that gave us the 1st pictures of the Moon & the Earth.
Actually, Lunar Orbiter did a similar one...but 70mm film vs. b&w video, and knowing a human there was taking it, hit us in an entirely different way.
Rest in Peace Bill Anders.....you took your last flight yesterday, on 6/7/24....and your final destination is now Heaven.
It’s clearly not the same camera as seen in the old photo of him holding it?
The photo at 5:01 looks like a retail model, not the NASA model. Maybe it was made for a Hasselblad advert.
Yea I seen that and hoped someone else did, I know this comment is a year old, and I'm only here because of the sad footage today of his plane coming down. That aside the lies told prior to today is sickening.. I feel offended that. People this we are so stupid. That camera, his camera from that fake photo. I believe in karma. I also believe they can make a Deal to live a long life, 90 or More, an as for fame and recognition.
@@michaelmichael3295 Lies like “the Apollo missions were fake”, you mean.
Wow! Engineers and scientists are among the most spiritual guys... Coming from and old engineer...
When will we go back ? And who will that be ?
And one of these days we might even be able to put astronauts in orbit. It's the 1950's again.
Photo of the millenium
Good luck to all you good you good people of the earth 🌎 your GOD Robert William daris Jr 👑. Never take my Walk. A walk not to destroy . But to show even someone like me with no one in my life and could be hateful. Still stop to think about all of you first. (If I was your parents I'd would be questioning the way you people were raised.) You should stop the bullying and be a friend.
What was the point of this journey.. Was it just to prove their scientific theories about the ability of going to the moon and orbit around it then come back .. I'm just asking ?
Phantom 94 to see whether they could go there, after that the next step was to land.
Phantom 94 - Apollo 7 had already taken the Command/Service Module to Earth orbit for testing. The Lunar Modules were behind schedule and not ready. NASA wanted another mission before a LM would be ready, but just putting the CSM in Earth orbit again seemed redundant. They decided to do the Moon orbit to keep the program moving forward, and to test the trip to the Moon and back without the added complexity of a Moon landing.

Cringe-inducing..
The same side of the moon always faces the earth so idk wat they mean by earthrise
The A8 astronauts were orbiting the moon; they didn't land on it.
It was a virtual Earthrise from their point of view. It was the perfect choice of title, regardless.
B.S
Why are you lying to people?
They can't tell the truth now
Says the Dumbest Generation ever
It's odd that the earth looks the same size of the moon viewing from the same distance , surely the earth should look much larger from the moon, considering it's 4x the size.
@@djscottfree2008 That depends on the lens you use. And when you use the same lens to take a photo of the moon, it looks 4 times smaller.
I don’t understand why astronauts brought “God” into it
Because God created the planets & at the same time, they survived a risky mission & were grateful to God that they did. Back then, very few, if anyone, questioned that. Nowadays, people have lost their moral compass & some people, especially young people have chosen to abandon God & so many young people have fallen astray
Sam Bradley I don’t take religious people seriously. You Evangelicals have all invalidated yourselves.
I don't understand why people get so annoyed when people mention "God"
Jena G Annoyed is a mischaracterization. It is surprising that scientists would believe in something without any proof.
@@Dogscatsbikes It actually requires more faith not to believe in God, and believe the incredibly ordered universe we live in all happened by chance and billions of years, than to believe that intelligence was behind it. (Haha I happen to be a neuroscientist, but that's sort of a coincidence)
I'm a massive fan of the Apollo missions and followed them avidly as a child. The astronauts possessed unimaginable bravery. But I find it excruciatingly embarrassing to listen to these men of science regurgitating all this hackneyed old God nonsense. I had to turn the sound off. So they attribute everything to a big man in the sky who doesn't even talk to us, or help us in anyway. If he did create the Earth, then he has left most of it in an horribly cruel mess.
They only read from a book. Astronauts were me heroes along with British Invasion groups.
You know, there's a thing called "accepting people just the way they are". I'm sure believers like these astronauts don't mind having atheists roaming the Earth.
Believer or not, it is all cool, but Flat Earthers are another story.
My position is that we should respect the right of all people to believe what they please regarding such things. That is in the spirit of the founding of our nation. Freedom of religion is fundamental. These men were not giving a sermon, but merely reading a well-known piece of literature which seemed appropriate. We don’t know their beliefs in detail and don’t need to know.
A funny thing happened on the way to the moon...
A worthless video full of arguments that turn out to be false.
@@Hobbes746 Nope, all true. 'We' never went to the moon.
@@edwinov I’ve debunked many of Sibrel’s arguments myself. None of those arguments are valid. We’ve aught Sibrel lying on many occasions.
@@edwinov We have a mountain of evidence that proves the Apollo landings are real. And no evidence that they were faked.
@@Hobbes746 Whahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Wow. Well I've debunked your debunks myself. I've aught you lying on every occasion. First get a degree (a meaningful one), then come back and maybe we'll let you talk to us.
