What is it like to see the universe in a way no one ever has before? In “Earthrise,” this week’s new Op-Doc, the astronauts of Apollo 8 tell the tale of humanity’s first journey beyond Earth’s orbit. Director Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee — who previously directed the Op-Docs “Sanctuaries of Silence,” “Vanishing Island” and “Who Speaks Wukchumni?” — masterfully weaves archival NASA footage and candid interviews with the astronauts themselves to explore what deep space means for the human spirit.

Earthrise is one of the most famous pictures taken and always will be.

But I noticed The NYTimes left out the other famous event of the flight, the reading from Genesis on Christmas Eve.

Instead we get the godless commie interpretation of the Earth is an insignificant speck in a vast Universe.

The NYTimes also uses the video to promote globalism. The problem with that is it gives unlimited and unchecked power to corrupt politicians.

MAGA

Umm... what? Did we leave Earth's SOI at some point since the 60s? I haven't been in a coma recently.

Yeah, unless we're talking unmanned craft, "humanity's first journey beyond Earth's orbit" hasn't happened yet.

It’s likely the work of a journalism major who prefers form over substance.
