Earthrise...

This is a nice video story about the first photographed Earthrise over the moon. Not really ham related but still interesting and educational. I had not heard this story before and hopefully all of you will enjoy it. How fascinating and humbling it must have been for these astronauts and for all that get to journey into space!
