I was 4 and even at that age I was excited about this stuff. Ya gotta figure that the whole world was excited about it and most American kids were encouraged to be excited and proud about it.

Coincidentally, I was searching for this broadcast clip a week ago and found it on YouTube :) There is a version of it on an old DOS "game" from the late 80's called Space Adventure: With Buzz Aldrin & Tom McDonough which overlays "Silent Night" in the background as the Apollo 8 Astronauts read the Scripture .... just beautiful, simply beautiful :)

Merry Christmas :)

I remember it well—I was 14 and a big space and science fiction nut.

I was 14 at the time, and we were at a big family get-together for the holiday... I remember all the activity in the house stopped and everything was quiet as we were all transfixed on the TV.

British musician Mike Oldfield took audio segments of this for his music video “Let There Be Light”. Beautifully done.

I listened to this live on my transistor radio. I had just turned 13.
