    A bloody year marked by assassinations, 17,000 American dead in Vietnam, riots, and campus unrest -- "Earthrise" saved 1968.

        @neiltyson more sympathy for millions of SEAsians killed that year, like we care more about victims of the bombing of London that luftwaffe

        @neiltyson I know you're American, but it seems ironic to post about American tragedies of 1968 right after one about a pure, unified Earth.

        .@neiltyson "Earthrise" was (& remains) an actual symbol of unity and hope, more than the genesis-reading news-folks keep recalling today.

        @neiltyson have you evidence to prove this claim? True for some, but how widely was it felt? Good ep of From the Earth to the Moon though =)

        @neiltyson PS genuinely asking. And not saying you're wrong. I just know that the Moon program was less popular at the time than many assume

        @neiltyson Earthrise saved 1968? Earthrise was taken with film. Was it published in 1968?
