RIP Frank Borman

The Earthrise photo is seen by some as one of the contributors to the modern environmental movement. A fair number of people freaked out on seeing the earth, all by itself surrounded by black, for the first time.

 

[da man]

Well there really is no up or down in space anyway.

Right. It's still an earthrise from any angle.

 

[UNCGrad]

Wait, Earth isn't flat?

 

[BTExpress]

Of course it is. A flat disk.

Wow, the CGI back then was pretty advanced

That's one of the highest resolution Apollo pics I've ever seen.

Odd but true, he once called me on the phone in like 1981 when he was chairman of Eastern Airlines and my father bought me some stock and he called to congratulate me. Old school way of doing things. RIP

The chairman of the board of a large corporation called you because your father bought some shares in the company for you? Did he buy 10% of Eastern? I would hope a chairman has better things to do than call retail customers who bought shares.

Wow. Profit-sharing. ... What a concept, eh?

It's almost like money can trickle down to us like
Grampa Ronnie once-upon-a-time said it would could.

There is no dark side of the moon, really; matter of fact, it's all dark.
