First photo of Earth taken from space

The mission to take the first photograph of Earth was reported on October 24, 1946. At White Sands Missile Range, the crew launched a V-2 No. 13 missile equipped with a 35mm movie camera, capturing the first image of Earth from space. The photos were taken at an altitude of 65 miles, just beyond the accepted boundaries of outer space.

People really want to discover what's beyond the universe, so space exploration is fun. On April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth aboard the Vostok spacecraft, making him the first human in space. After that, there's still a lot of exploring to do, and a lot of questions about space to be answered.
