I remember watching the Christmas Eve broadcast by the Apollo 8 crew. It was magnificent, highlighted by their reading of Genesis. I highly recommend the book Rocket Men which tells the tale of this mission.

Proud to say that I worked that mission as a young software jockey at MSC.

I remember the photo very well, taken when I was eleven years old.

It happened during my first Christmas without my father, who was in Vietnam as a FAC.

I'd stare at the photo wondering if I could see where I lived and where my father was half a world away.

Of course I couldn't see where he was, but it was good enough for me to imagine I could and that it would do until he finally made it home the following summer.

Fortunately for us, he did return home to a very grateful family but not so to a very turbulent country.
