                        I remember that broadcast on Christmas Eve '68 like it was yesterday! It saved '68. I remember following every minute of the mission. Their Christmas eve message was profound and moving. I even had the Revell model of the Saturn V that I had built earlier that year. Wish I still had that one!

                        As a side note, I've got 35mm slides that I shot of the Apollo 11 moon walk that I shot off the TV. I'm glad I grew up in the heyday of the space program.

                        Hi Guys,

                        Remember that 40 years ago this week Apollo 8 left Earth bound for the moon,and those iconic photos of Earth rise were taken.

                        To paraphrase the Apollo 8 crew:

                        We left to explore the moon But we discovered the Earth

                         

                        Chris
