"And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas – and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth."
Today NASA would read from the Koran so that Muslims aren’t offended. Probably some passage that has to do with cutting the head off of infidels. How far we’ve fallen.
The first mission out of Earth’s gravity well. Reading the history you realize how very perilous these missions were. I remember the Genesis reading very well, will that feeling ever return?
If bammy were president it would have been from the koooran.
Why don’t they go back to the moon?
Respect to God’s Word.
Ping.
I remember that! I also remember atheist Madalyne Murray O’Hair threw a waul-eyed fit demanding equal time.
So they said she could have equal time, from the same location in space, if she could get there.
So beautiful, so powerful. Thank you. On a side note, my Dad worked for Keystone Engineering in Los Angeles in 1968. He machined parts for that big Saturn 5 rocket and he actually took us to the Rockwell Plant in Downey CA and I saw that very capsule there. The Apollo 8. I also remember seeing a parking space with the name Walter Cronkite on it.
Thank you.
How far we have fallen. I am so glad that we grew up in America in the 50’s and 60’s.

A couple of months later, man walked on the moon. But hearing the reading from Genisis that Christmas eve as the image of the moon’s surfaced passed the observation port moved me far more than witnessing the later act.
