Description: Apollo 8 NASA Moon Orbit - Original Vintage Newspaper - Space exploration US Space Race Program - Day Of - Science is Awesome Description: The Apollo 8 mission was a pivotal moment in space exploration history. Launched on December 21, 1968, Apollo 8 was the first manned spacecraft to leave Earth's orbit and reach the Moon. The crew members—Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders—orbited the Moon ten times over the course of 20 hours. Although Apollo 8 did not attempt a lunar landing, it provided crucial tests for the Apollo program and laid the groundwork for subsequent missions. The crew captured the iconic "Earthrise" photograph, showing the Earth rising above the lunar horizon, which became an iconic image of the environmental movement. Apollo 8 demonstrated the feasibility of human lunar missions, boosted public morale, and set the stage for the historic Apollo 11 mission that successfully landed astronauts on the Moon in July 1969. It marked a significant step toward achieving President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the Moon before the end of the 1960s. Condition: The newspaper is in Great condition.
