I was part of the launch site recovery team for Apollo 8, and remember this well. We finished cleaning up the equipment after the launch on December 21. We were on leave from the Marines, en-route to New York on Christmas eve. I'd dropped a buddy off in West Virginia and was making best time to get home. My buddy's grandfather thought it was all a hoax, a TV show. Thank you for these wonderful memories all these years later.
Moments in history that made a big impression on a little girl. Thank you, Tara, for bringing them back into our minds. Merry Christmas to you, your family and all your great followers.
History is replete with brave men and women who faced unprecedented challenges to move us forward and advance the human race. God bless those among us who choose to be extraordinary.

Bill Anders
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Jim Lovell
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Frank Borman
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
History is replete with brave men and women who faced unprecedented challenges to move us forward and advance the human race. God bless those among us who choose to be extraordinary.
You do good work Tara!

What a beautiful creation! Merry Christmas, to all of my fellow TDIH readers🎄🎄🎄🎄
It was awe-inspiring then... and still generates awe.
I was 12 years old and fascinated by this! It was a remarkable time to be alive!
Merry Christmas to all!
Peace on earth - Good Will to All!
May God bless these people even today
