Earth — A View From Space

A remarkable 📷 from the NASA archives. During the Apollo 9 mission in March of 1969.

Astronaut Rusty Schweickart captured this image of Earth as crewmate Dave Scott took in the view.

Humans can achieve the Amazing.

#Apollo9 was the first mission that allowed astronauts to bring music into space. #RustySchweickart’s classical mixtape disappeared for much of the flight, perhaps thanks to his country-music-loving crewmates. #SchweickartAuction bids start June 17: bit.ly/4opGop0

Asked how many cameras the crew carried aboard #Apollo9 mission, #RustySchweickart’s answer was simple:
“I don’t know. You could go to the checklist.”
The Apollo missions’ history is preserved in its documents.

Vaughan-Williams’ Hodie and Alan Hovhaness’s Mysterious Mountain went to space on a cassette tape.

Carried aboard the #Apollo9 mission, it was one of the first times astronauts brought personal music into space.

It even went mysteriously missing mid-flight.

“A flown item is defined not just by where it has been, but by the fact that it was chosen to go at all.”

On the #Apollo9 mission, every item had to earn its place.

See what #RustySchweickart chose to carry. #SchweickartAuction

最初の不明瞭で聞き取りづらいところで確かに「Apollo9 Stony Standby」のところを言ってるんですがコメントした人よく気づいたなあと感心しました(^◇^;)
確かになんか音源古いのには気づいてたんですがわざとエフェクトかけてるのかと思ってたので...

ボス戦のBGMもすごい壮大ですね...ArclightともどもDL購入したい(Arclightの方はまだ配信されてないので)

こちらのカウントダウン音声はまた別の音源っぽいですね...ってことは別のアポロの打ち上げなのかしら...
