  • Tony Reichhardt
  • Energy Innovation; air and space magazine
  • I think it is a pretty reliable source, i don't really know of any of the credentials
  • It say the first picture of earth was taken in 1946 by rocket-borne cameras.
  • Yes
  • Because I think there would have been a picture before that. In 1969 I believe the first man went to the moon, so i would think they would of had a picture before that, more than a year before that at least.

  • I could not find a specific source besides the Planetary Society as a whole
  • NASA
  • reliable enough because its from NASA
  • It says the first picture was taken on December 24, 1968. Which is christmas eve.
  • I dont know what to believe
  • I mean NASA is reliable but i would think the first picture would be taken way before this.

  • Bob McDonald
  • CBC News
  • I think its creditable because its from the a news site.
  • It say on December 24, 1968 Apollo 8 made a trip around the Earth and captured the first picture of the Earth
  • Yes
  • I now believe this because traveling around the earth is different than landing on the moon and i believe it after two sites say it
I believe this statement because there is like famous quotes from the astronauts from that day about them traveling around the earth and taking the first and famous picture.
