The photo that divided humanity into the past and the future: Earthrise, Dec. 24, 1968.

The first Earthrise ever witnessed by humankind, recreated from NASA data, audio and video. Way to go, crazy monkeys! :-)

Oh, I just saw this answer! BetterMost is not the best place these days to post quizzes and questions! Any other deosilists out there?
