Original Note:
The photo in question, nicknamed "Earthrise", was taken during the Apollo 8 mission. Apollo 8 did not land on the moon, but simply orbited it. https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/apollo-8-earthrise/ Mission Control communicated with the Apollo 11 astronauts via the Deep Space Network, and Nixon simply called Mission Control. https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/somd/space-communications-navigation-program/what-is-the-deep-space-network/
