During the Apollo 8 mission, the combination of everyday photography technology and out-of-this-world space technology led to the iconic Earthrise photo, transforming the way we thought about our home planet.

In the “Transformational Technologies” video series, the National Air and Space Museum explores artifacts in its collection that changed our lives, transformed the way we viewed the world, or looked at an existing problem in a new way. All artifacts featured are now on display in the eight new galleries at the National Air and Space Museum in DC. “Transformational Technologies” is made possible by the support of Lockheed Martin.
