This outstanding panorama showing a great expanse of the cloud-covered Pacific Ocean was taken with the Hasselblad camera equipped with the 80mm lens.
Until now the Apollo astronauts were the only space voyagers to escape the gravitational sphere of influence of the Earth and to travel to another realm.
From the mission transcript after translunar injection:
002:44:35 Duke: Houston, this is the most spectacular view in the - you can possibly imagine.
002:44:40 Young: What did you do with the camera?
002:44:42 Duke: I got it right here.
“I hadn’t been in the air an hour, and I knew I was in deep trouble. Because my mind was being overwhelmed with one extraordinarily impressive view, image, picture and as soon as you got that and you said, ‘Look at that!’ And then, shit, here came another one that was even more impressive! And I remember we were hardly out of Earth orbit when I said, you know, I’m in trouble.”
