Overview
In the early morning hours of December 21, 1968, three astronauts strapped themselves into a tiny capsule perched atop the most powerful rocket ever built. They were about to attempt the most daring, dangerous mission in the history of exploration: a journey from the earth to the moon. If they succeeded, they would realize a dream that had captured people's imaginations since time began. If they failed, the United States would be forced to cede technological dominance to the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War. The three men were the crew of Apollo 8 -- the first manned mission to the moon.

The first men to go to the moon!

The first men to sit on top of a Saturn 5 rocket during liftoff!!

The first men to leave Low Earth orbit!

The first men to see the Earth as a whole planet!

All of the equipment was untested and chances of failure were high, Gorman, Lovell and Anders only had a 50/50 chance of survival!!!
