Read original comment ↗Video of the Earthrise he's talking about in the article - [VIDEO] I just finished Andrew's A Man on the Moon book a couple of weeks ago and I throughly enjoyed it.
Read original comment ↗I once saw a video (reenactment but original voices maybe?) of how one of these images was taken. How the earth appeared over the horizon and they scrambled to find a camera or so. Anyone knows which video I'm talking about and could help me find it? Edit: finding out the picture in question had a name, Earthrise, made it easier to find. Here's the video [VIDEO]
