Earth was coming into view as the Apollo astronauts circled the Moon...

The year was 1968, the month was December.

The three astronauts scrambled for a camera and, fortuitously, 'Earthrise' images were captured and from space soon delivered home.

Humanity first envisions Earth from Above with NASA Apollo missions.

The Apollo 8 astronauts looked out their spaceship window as they were orbiting around the Moon and they were surprised by what they suddenly saw, unexpectedly, outside the spaceship window...

In January 1969 a full-color majestic picture of our home planet was on the cover of Life Magazine. Our rising home planet surprising and overwhelming us all. Humanities vie of our world began to change...

Overnight it seemed many realized we needed to go beyond the peace movement. Soon we began talking and planning for the first Earth Day. The modern environmental movement had work to do and we set ourselves to the task at hand.

New ways of seeing national security began with 'we're all planet citizens'. Above, looking back home, our Blue Planet calls to us to protect and secure life on Earth.
