Additional quotes by Bill Anders

We set out to explore the moon and instead discovered the Earth.

I thought the American public was supporting Apollo not because they wanted science or even because they wanted exploration, they wanted to show those “dirty commies” that America [was still #1 technologically].

From there, the blue-and-white glory of Earth, the only color amidst the blackness of space, became a beacon.
