Apollo 8, my favourite Apollo mission, first crew round the back of the Moon and back home again. Who could forget Boorman (I think) reading from Genesis from the Moon on Christmas Eve 1968?
They still fly together…

The crew took turns to read from Genesis, apparently-but as we all know, they weren’t really there at all-they were in a converted hangar at Area 51 (I’m joking, I’m joking!!)
I’m a great fan of Buzz Aldrins reaction to being called a liar by some reporter. The footage of him punching the guy out is on youtube :cool::D

Couple of nice happy smiles there – they both look as if they’ve made each others’ day!
It didn’t start off that way. She is at her mothers this week so I called up at 9am & told her mom to get her up as I had a surprise for her. I didn’t tell her mom where she was going at first & there was some talk from the ex about “not forcing her to get up, it’s a holiday blah blah blah”
Then I mentioned who she was going to see today & in the back ground I hear the ex say “Get up, you’re going out with your dad for the day” :diablo:
When we were headed home she told me she’s going to have the coolest story to tell when school starts again on Jan 11th 🙂
