Saturday Haiku: Poems from Space: Apollo 8

[In celebration of the upcoming 50th anniversary of the first manned lunar landing, I am re-posting some previous entries inspired by some of NASA's achievements. The Apollo 8 flight was the first time humans had orbited the moon. "Earthrise" is an iconic photo that was shot during that moon mission which inspired the haiku that I re-post today.]


Our first moon orbit;
we explored far reaches, yet
turning, saw ourselves.
