Earth from Apollo 8

One of my favorite images from the Apollo missions

The astronauts had a lot of things to say about seeing the Earth from this perspective. A little blue marble floating in the void. The emotions they felt as they contemplated the Earth and humanity's place in the universe.

But they're not here so I'm going to summarize: Shit's delicate, be careful with it. It'd be a real bruh moment if we fucked up our one and only planet wouldn't it?
I'd love to be able to have the opportunity to see the Earth from the moon like this. The way that the Apollo astronauts described it, it must be a wild feeling
- Damn, I just remembered a game "to the moon", it's a fantastic game.
  
  Don't think I've played that one. What's it like?
How come all these "photos" of the moon are always crystal clear, but when I look at the moon at night it's covered in clouds at least half the time?
