NASA published a series of films about shooting photos and accompanying events. We should also mention the episode when the camera caught an image spotted by craters of the moon, while the astronauts read verses from the Bible that describe the creation of the world. "Apollo 8" circled the moon 10 times, with the last astronauts were read the Book of Genesis and the first 10 Commandments.
«This is the foundation of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, - commented on the choice of Genesis Jim Lovell It is the basis of most world religions. All of them are based on the Old Testament ».
Subsequently Frank Borman «We looked over the lunar surface - and there was the Earth, - tells the commander, - and it was so beautiful with its variety of colors. I think all three of us were then ecstatic. "
