On Christmas Eve 1968, Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders looked back and captured Earthrise — the first time humans saw our planet rising over another world. That single frame helped launch the modern environmental movement#Earthrises#Apollo8o#SpaceHistoryr#NASASA

A friend of mine found this #Apollo8 patch in a thrift shop for me. I was curious about its possible provenance since it looks very weathered. Do you think it's just an old mass-produced souvenir? I really know nothing about mission patches as collectibles.

Faith has always gone to space. Artemis II shows how much it has changed.
Both Apollo 8 and Artemis II missions included public references to religion, but astronauts aboard the Artemis’ Orion spacecraft struck a broader, more global tone.

Ihr ahnt es schon, es ist der Mond
Er scheint recht nah und ist doch fern
Drum wären wir da oben gern

Well... #Apollo8 crew saw the backside of the Moon live as first humans - they even took the iconic photo #Earthrise inclunding a part of the #backside of the #Moon - logically.
I assume that #Trump in his uneducated silliness is origin of this stupid claim, #Artemis2 crew would be first humans

In mehreren Nachrichten kam ja die irre #trumpeke #Falschmeldung an #Müll, dass mit dem Flug der #Artemis2 das erste Mal Menschen live die #Mondrueckseite betrachten würden.
Denn:
Sogar das ikonische #Apollo8 Foto #Earthrise zeigt ein Stück Mondrückseite - logischerweise!

Heute vor 55 Jahren: In diesen Augenblicken umkreisen bei der Mission Apollo 8 erstmals Menschen den Mond und blicken auf seine erdabgewandte "Rückseite". Etwas später nehmen sie dieses Bild auf. Es wird "Earthrise" genannt und gehört zu den berühmtesten Fotos aller Zeiten.

"Think the Earth's distance from the Moon is a big deal? Artemis 2's lunar flyby was a mere 1/4th the distance of the Apollo 8 orbital insertion. To put it into perspective, if you drove from New York to LA at 60mph, you'd still be 250 miles short of the Moon #Artemis2 #Apollo8"
