I was 12 years old that CHRISTMAS and I remember it well . More meaningful than the actual lunar landing seven months later . The Apollo 8 crew with Frank Borman as flight commander . I'll never forget it . I'm not sure , but I think Jim Lovell took the picture . Anyone know ?


Anders took it and two others.

Yep according to the video and the comments from the audio recording it was Anders. It was really cool to hear how excited they were when they first saw it, and how they had to scramble to get the color film in the camera. (not much good color film does while taking pictures of the lunar surface while orbiting.)

Jerry (was about 15 at the time and had forgotten who the third person was on that flight)

   Some will remember it  Others definitely should watch. 
   This was Christmas 1968!!!!

   I'm sure you've seen the world's most famous photograph, "Earthrise".
   It's been on the cover of TIME and on stamps.
   But did you know it almost didn't happen. It was Christmas Eve, 1968. 

   The site below is outstanding.
   It takes you right onto the module with the 3 astronauts and you hear them
   as they see it for the first time. (It begins occurring around 3 minutes, 38 seconds.) 
   Just think we were alive and watching when this happened. 
  A picture like this, taken by a human, is not likely to happen even in the distant future.
