Jurg Bolli

Very nice interview, thanks for posting it.

Buel

Good interview.

Please can someone confirm to me in what position the crew experienced Earthrise? I know there is no up, down, left or right in space but how did they see it? Moon to the left and Earth to the right?

MartinAir

Moon to the right and Earth to the left. See the Earthrise wiki website, for example.

Great interview! Are there any videos/interviews related to the National Air and Space Museum Michael Collins Trophy, which was awarded to Bill Anders? Also, where could be found the full 1969 episode of Face the Nation with Apollo 8 astronauts?

Here is the video that the National Air and Space Museum put together to introduce Anders as the Michael Collins Trophy Winner:

Nice introduction and summary. Was hoping there would be a panel discussion with this year's winners.

I really enjoyed watching both this and the recent Lovell interview posted in a previous thread.

It's a testament to how in tune Robert is in the space community, I guarantee I wouldn't have come across either if it wasn't for this website and I really appreciate it.
