The Good Earth
“What they should have sent was poets, ‘cause I don't think we captured, in its entirety, the grandeur of what we had seen.”
On December 24 1968, Bill Anders, an astronaut on Apollo 8, took the iconic photograph Earthrise, showing the blue Earth rising over the gray landscape of the moon.
To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the image and the mission, a short film has been released, and its worth every piece of perspective it offers.
Lord, thank you for this good earth. May we who ride upon it through the cosmos find harmony and peace with each other, and understand our place within the vastness of space, and before you as well.
