It’s also cool that he called out the camera settings for the shot. Tell someone on the street, “two-fifty at f/11” and it’s unlikely they’ll know what the hell you’re talking about.
That’s some great footage. Both that “Earthrise” image and the “Blue marble” image have stayed with me ever since I can recall seeing them, so it’s nice to hear how important it was to the astronauts. Gotta say, that’s badass–rushing for the camera to grab a shot of Earth rising over the moon…beats my crappy sunsets any day of the week.
