NASA video release
On Dec. 24, 1968, Apollo 8 astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders became the first humans to orbit the Moon, and the first to witness the magnificent sight called "Earthrise."

NASA's Chief Scientist and Senior Climate Advisor Dr. Katherine Calvin sat down with Bill Anders to discuss the historic Earthrise photo.

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?

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?

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.
