?Apollo 8, the first manned mission to the Moon, entered lunar orbit
on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1968. That evening, the astronauts;
Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot Jim Lovell, and Lunar
Module Pilot William Anders did a live television broadcast from lunar
orbit, in which they showed pictures of the Earth and Moon seen from
Apollo 8. Lovell said, "The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring and it
makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth." They ended
the broadcast with the crew taking turns reading from the book of
Genesis.?
