Did The Apollo Astronauts See The Moon Or Earth 'Approaching'?

I mean, did they have a window that they could look out of and if so,
did they stare out of into a blackness from which the moon slowly
became visible, then larger, larger and ever larger until they were
upon it? And ditto for when they came back to Earth?

I can think of nothing more awe inspiring than such views.

I'm pretty sure they did not have that when they returned from the
Moon but what about when they were going?

Once this page opens, search for the word "watch".
The article states that they watched the earth receding and that the watched
the lunar landscape approaching.

See for yourself

The servers have been taken down due to a particularly bitchy weather
pattern.

Yes for me too now.

The first time I tried I get a message saying that Nasa servers in
Washington had been taken down due to Hurricane Isabel.
