I'd never seen the heat shield in such bright light before. You can see how much punishment it took on the way down.
Ed Gibson was the Science Pilot that flew aboard the final Skylab mission, sthe mission lasted a record 84 days.
They really did measure the doors beforehand, but the angle wasn't quite what was expected. I think the CM didn't want to go to Texas.

Apollo 8 was the first crewed spacecraft to leave the Earth's gravitational sphere of influence and the first human spaceflight to reach the Moon, orbiting ten times without landing. It was crewed by Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders, who were the first humans to see and photograph the far side of the Moon and an Earthrise. (source)
Edited Apollo 17 image (taken from the ascending Lunar Module) of the Command Service Module flying over the Taurus Littrow Valley (where the Lunar Module had just take off from) in a lower orbit to catch up to the Lunar Module. These images look interesting because it looks as if the CSM is flying through a valley on the Moon.
