A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM SPACE ON THIS DATE IN 1968
The Apollo 8 Astronauts, from left to right,were mission Commander
Frank Borman, Lunar Module Pilot William Andres, and Command
Module Pilot James Lovell. After coming out from the back side of
the Moon,the crew read ten verses of the book of Genesis from the
Bible. This was during a Christmas Eve TV broadcast, a portion
of this broadcast is below.
The crew members of Apollo 8 were the first Americans to directly
see the far side of the Moon and the first humans to see the planet
Earth from beyond it’s low orbit.
