William Anders, astronaut on the Apollo 8 mission, passed away earlier today.
Anders took the iconic Earthrise photo while orbiting the Moon with Borman and Lovell. No human had ever seen an Earthrise before.
On the transmission he says "Oh my God, look at that picture over there! It's the Earth coming up. Wow, is that pretty!"
