Apollo 8's View of Earth on December 24, 1968


December 21, 1968 ... Apollo 8 launches from the Kennedy Space Center, the first humans on the way to the Moon --- and a vision looking back at home that empowered the modern environmental movement.

Apollo's mission? To explore the Moon in preparation for a Moon landing. A surprise comes into view as the spaceship circles the Moon. A window view, Whole Earth awareness of ourselves as #PlanetCitizens. "Earthrise" ... a profound image, first by human hands taken of our home planet. We see our #PlanetEarth with new born eyes ...

Aboard Apollo, December 24, 1968...
Earthrise, the way Anders saw it.jpg
http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Apollo_8


As the spaceship swings around the Moon...

unexpectedly the Earth rises in the Apollo ship's and the astronauts are amazed at what is coming into view...


Astronaut Bill Anders is the first to see the Earth...

Anders: "Oh, my God, look at that picture over there," he can be heard saying. "There's the Earth coming up. Wow, is that pretty!"


What happened next will sound familiar to anyone who remembers the days before digital cameras:


Anders (to astronaut Jim Lovell): "You got a color film, Jim? Hand me a roll of color, quick, would you?"

Lovell: "Oh, man, that's great! Where is it?"

Anders: "Hurry. Quick."

Lovell: "Down here?"

Anders: "Just grab me a color. A color exterior. Hurry up. Got one?"

Lovell: "Yeah, I'm lookin' for one. C368."

Anders: "Anything quick."


Lovell hands him the film just as Anders is heard saying, "I think we missed it."


But within seconds, Lovell sees the shot again in another window of the command module. He asks for the camera from Anders, who seems a bit defensive at having his role as mission photographer usurped.


Anders: "Wait a minute, just let me get the right setting here now, just calm down. Calm down, Lovell!"


Anders then gets the shot that has been reproduced innumerable times all over the world...


Changing forever humanity's vision of ourselves, of who we are

Planet Earth

50+ years since the Apollo Mission surprised us with a first-ever "Earthrise" view of our home planet


GreenPolicy360: We remember, as we watched Apollo missions in 1968 and 1969, how our views of who we were as citizens changed. We saw, for the first time, our Earth rising.

'Earthrise' as seen from Apollo 8 was a magic moment, a Whole Earth vision, and a beginning of the modern Environmental Movement.

December 1968 "Earthrise" led to April 1970 "Earth Day" which led the first National Climate Act in 1978 which led to the first "Earth Summit" in 1992 which began international climate conferences that brought the nations of the world the 2015 Climate Change agreement in Paris with ~200 "Intended National Climate Contributions" (National Climate Plans)
