>The Blue Marble was not the first clear image taken of an illuminated face of the Earth, since similar shots from the ATS-3 satellite had already been made as early as 1967.

"The Blue Marble" is neither the first picture of earth from space, nor is it the first one to show the earth as a whole circle. If you're referring to the "taken by a human being" aspect, that's also false, Humans have taken handmade shots of earth all through the Mercury and Gemini programs.
