With Christmas coming up this extraordinary event of 50 years ago may be of interest.  The photography is spectacular.

You're going to love this one.  It definitely a must see!!!  With technology moving so fast today it's truly amazing that this took place 50 years ago.  Seems we have to ask ourselves what have we been doing for 50 years!!

 
 
Been around before.  It is now been 50 years and not 45 as claimed in the video (Video was made 5 years ago).

If you've already seen it definitely worth a 2nd look !

 
A few will remember it.  This was Christmas Eve 1968.  It is said to be the world's most famous photograph, "Earthrise.” 

It's been on the cover of TIME and on stamps.  But did you know it almost didn't happen.  The site below is outstanding.  It takes you right onto the module with the 3 astronauts and you hear them as they see it for the first time. 

A picture like this, taken by a human, is not likely to happen again even in the distant future.
