NASA Astronaut Russell Schweickart's career-defining moment came thanks to a camera problem. During a spacewalk on the Apollo 9 ten day mission, his colleague's movie camera jammed, and Schweickart was given an order to sit tight for 5 minutes while the team troubleshot it. He was left to look out at the vastness of space, and Earth within it. This is a photo of "Rusty" as seen from inside the lunar module.
