This is only a stub so far, and I expect to expand this quite a bit over the next few weeks. For me, this mission is even more important than Apollo 11 as it was the mission that broke the back of the Russian Space program, and secondly that the crew had the guts to make this broadcast.--Woolhiser 14:54, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Timing

When this is played nowadays, the visuals with it show the Earth slowly coming into view from behind the Moon. However, in reality, LOS would be in effect until at least the receiving station (Goldstone, Roblenes(Spain) or the one in Australia) was no longer blocked by the Moon from the Apollo spacecraft.

What visuals, if any, originally were being transmitted during the audio transmissions transcripted here? GBC 22:58, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

A very stark black and white video image that displayed the surface of the moon only in close up, as Apollo 8 approached the lunar terminator. The image seen in the video includes the spacecraft's window frame. As the crew says "Good night to all of you on the good Earth", Apollo 8 passes over a large crater that is situated right before the terminator between day and night on the lunar surface. The images you are describing are from the film magazines shot at different times during the ten orbits and is not in synch with the audio. However, those images of Earthrise look more awe-inspiring than the actual crude black and white video.Abebenjoe (talk) 07:12, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:January 3, 1969 Time Magazine Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:January 3, 1969 Time Magazine Cover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Papa November (talk) 11:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
