The first view with human eyes of the Earth rising over the limb of the Moon. The discovery of the Earth from space, with human eyes, remains one of the most iconic achievements in our species' history. Apollo 8, which occurred in December, 1968, was one of the essential precursor missions to a successful Moon landing.Apollo 8 first took humans to the Moon, and Apollo 10 served as the dress rehearsal for the first landing.
The Lunar Module was successfully deployed. Here you can see the landing gear out, demonstrating the potential for landing on the Moon. The return engines have not yet been fired.The crew of James McDivitt, David Scott, and Rusty Schweickart rocketed into space aboard a Saturn V on March 3, 1969. One of the most important components of a successful Moon landing is the return of the astronauts who land on the Moon to Earth. This requires a successful rendezvous of the Lunar Module with the Command/Service Module. Here, the latter is seen from the Lunar Module, prior to a successful docking and transfer of astronauts back to the main module.They completed a two-person spacewalk and successfully tested engines, spacesuit life support, and navigation.
