James Lovell or Frank Borman (Gemini VII)
First photograph of the Moon taken by humans from space: full Moon rising over the Earth horizon, 4-18 December 1965
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1965, numbered "NASA S-65-63852" in red in top margin, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 20,3 x 25,4 cm
An extremely rare photograph of the full Moon over the Indian Ocean, not published after the mission, seen from the Gemini VII spacecraft during its historic 14-day mission in space.
“Once the Apollo program was under way, it dawned on me that soon somebody was going to be taking a picture of the Earth from the Moon, so I took this picture of the Moon. When we got there on Apollo 8, we took the Earthrise photograph; they were like before-and-after pictures.”
James Lovell (Schick and Van Haaften, p. 55)
“The Moon varied greatly during the 2 weeks of flight. Jim [Lovell] took this picture of the full Moon as a symbol of our next goal in manned space flight, the lunar landing. I think it also dramatizes the difference between mere orbital flight and the future adventures that will take Man a quarter of a million miles into the ocean of space.”
Frank Borman (Cortright, p. 155)
