Which Apollo mission is featureed on the song "High Roller" from The Crystal Method's album "Vegas"?
I think it is Apollo 10. "This Transmission is coming to you... from the far side of the moon..." or something like that.

Apollo 8.
Those were the days.
I wonder how many people think like I do that it is so cool that we have been to the moon. We have done something that would otherwise be thought of as mythical. We have decided not to be a mere creature on this Earth but to step outside -- so to speak -- and go where no man would be able to go if not for technology and science and rational thought and understaning of physics and mathematics. We took the proverbial bull by the horns. We choose to rise above Nature and take charge.
Things regarded and dismissed as being myths and magic can really come true, if we use our brains.
It really was a great leap for Mankind. That was not just something to say as a cliche.

Interestingly enough, when those Apollo 8 astronauts really did go further from Earth than any other human had before them, they chose to celebrate the event with the reading of scripture.

Yes...it is interesting that astronauts who would never consider relying simply on belief to operate their spacecraft would embrace belief when it comes to religion. Just shows that even highly trained technical professionals can and will ignore the "rules of evidence" when they become inconvient. |

And that's been sampled in a song too.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJJmS-HY234My favourite earthrise picture is from Apollo 8, because it was the first time humans could actually see the Earth that way with their own eyes. history.nasa.gov/ap08fj/photos/14-b/hr/as08-14-2383hr.jpg |
