In space there is no "up" so we rotate the NASA feed for a very sped up time lapse short showing the view from Orion as it is passing behind the Moon to execute the Lunar insertion burn... Photo bomb from good old Earth included! Enjoy!

    Most people don't know this, but NASA invented the Selfie Cam.

    Wow! What a time to be alive! I remember I had a dream we had sent humans to the moon in 69 but that's just impossible.

    Neat view the Earth, craft and moon, but NASA give us a better view of the moon!!! Have a dedicated cam for the moon with zoom. My cell phone through binoculars could do better than this shot. For 200 bucks a web cam and a 4inch reflector does better than a p900 for the moon. NASA just give us a modern general look around plz!
