Earthrise

On Christmas Eve 1968, three men in a tin can the size of a phone box rounded the far side of the Moon. They had been trained to photograph craters. None of them were ready for what came over the lunar horizon.This is the story of the Apollo 8 mission and the photograph that made it home — Earthrise — the first time our species saw its planet whole, hanging in the dark, no borders, no colours but blue and brown and white. The picture that started the environmental movement. The picture that, more than any sermon, made everyone who saw it feel small in the right way.Told slowly, in the dark, to help you fall asleep.Narrated by Charles. Approximately 43 minutes.For the full library of sleep stories and meditations: https://salus-mind.com
