Does anyone remember seeing this pic from Apollo 8 mission to the moon?

Were only talking 1969 here not the middle ages.. I dont think they needed a large air conditioning unit on their backs, they had special suits for cooling, so they definitely had technology to send a person to the moon & back. There wasn’t any night. They landed on the bright side and stayed there...plus the temperature of something in a vacuum on the moon doesn’t work the same way on our Earth environment. It’s sensational fare in a newspaper to say “Objects in Lunar daylight become 250 degrees!!” and some of them actually MIGHT, but you could also arrange for things to approach absolute zero on the Lunar surface in the daylight.
Getting rid of waste heat was indeed an issue. Their backpacks on their space suits contained a clever device to keep them cool. When water sublimates from ice into water vapor in vacuum, it absorbs heat. They had a pump that dribbled water onto a sort of grid called the sublimator (where it froze in the dark) and then sublimated into water vapor in the vacuum. More water went through a heat exchanger in the grid. This water was cooled by the sublimating water and went into tubes in the space suit that kept the astronauts cool.
I’m not sure how cooling worked in the LM, but it was probably similar...hope that explains some things..it seems feesible to me..

I've had this for a few years when it dawned on me that something's off because I stumbled on similar earthrise pics that look mimicked, like the one in your link.
There's a lot of questions regarding the missions, the cameras as I mentioned and the cooling equipment on their backs. The tech of those days would have required an ac unit on their backs to be almost as large as a small window ac unit. 120's-160 degrees F on the moon. Dark side is -200'sF

Michael Collins is mentioned to have taken that picture in 1969,so somethings are a miss, cos then it says on Wikipedia it was taken in December 1968 by William Anders & it says this photograph has become known as Earthrise. so maybe there is two photos?..

Here is the whole lot of photo's & links to them:-
