This outstanding view of the full Moon, in a perspective seen only by the Apollo astronauts from December 1968 to December 1972, was photographed from the spacecraft during its journey back to Earth. 'I never felt we were in a hopeless situation…,' recalled Fred Haise. 'No, we never had that emotion at all. We never were with our backs to the wall, where there were no more ideas, or nothing else to try, or no possible solution. That never came' (Chaikin, Voices, p. 139).
