John Young (Apollo 10)
Magnificent Earthrise, 18-26 May 1969
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1969, (NASA AS10-27-3890), with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, (NASA / North American Rockwell), 25,4 x 20,3 cm, slight surface irregularities in the upper third
This amazing photograph was taken on orbit 24 looking west over Smyth’s Sea through the 250mm telephoto lens.
“To see our home planet from this point of view was absolutely awesome. It was nearly breathtaking. I was reminded of Socrates’s saying in 399 B.C., before flight above the ground was theorized: ‘A man must rise above the Earth to the top of the atmosphere and beyond, and only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives.”
Thomas Stafford (Jacobs, p. 53)
From the mission when the photograph was taken:
122:01:58 Stafford: We’ll have acquisition from the Earth soon.
122:02:27 Stafford: Now. if that [the color of the Moon] isn’t a tan color, absolutely tan, I don’t know what the hell is. [...]
122:05:52 Cernan: There it is [the Earth].
122:05:53 Stafford: Hit it, quick. Go, baby, go.
122:05:56 Young: What?
122:05:57 Stafford: The Earth. Hit it. Again, baby…
122:06:00 Young: Jesus Christ.
122:06:02 Stafford: Are you aiming at it right now?
122:06:05 Cernan: I know where this one is.
122:06:14 Stafford: Beautiful, Gene-o.
122:06:16 Cernan: Think I can get...
122:06:17 Young: Sounds like we’re about to acquire (radio signal with the Earth).
122:06:28 Cernan: Yes, we are.
122:06:36 Stafford: Might shoot an f:8 - 80 on it. Oh, 250 (mm lens) will be good.
