Various scenes of sunrise and nature with reading of verses from book of Genesis in the bible by the crew of the Apollo 8 Mission. Clouds pass over during an impending sunrise. The sun rises. Astronaut Bill Anders reads “We are now approaching lunar sunrise, and for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness”. “And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” Says Jim Lovell. Sunrise by a lake. Apollo launch site during sunrise.
