2. Apollo 8... As It Happened

"Witnessing the overture for the Destiny of Man".
This was the furthest away from Earth humans had EVER gone; the astronauts passed the Van Allen radiation belt.
Apollo 8 led to the first images taken by humans of the whole Earth, including the first Earthrise pic, where the Earth appears to rise above the lunar horizon. The crew circled Moon 10x in 20 hours, going out of radio contact with Earth.
