Apollo 8
Apollo 8 was the first crewed spacecraft to leave low Earth orbit.
It was also the first human spaceflight to reach another astronomical object, namely the Moon, which the crew orbited without landing, and then departed safely back to Earth.
These three astronauts—Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders—were the first humans to witness and photograph an Earthrise.
Apollo 8 launched on December 21, 1968, and was the second crewed spaceflight mission flown in the United States Apollo space program after Apollo 7.
It was the third flight and the first crewed launch of the Saturn V rocket, and was the first human spaceflight from the Kennedy Space Center.
Apollo 8 took 68 hours to travel the distance to the Moon.
The crew orbited the Moon ten times over the course of twenty hours, during which they made a Christmas Eve television broadcast.
The Apollo 8 astronauts returned to Earth on December 27, 1968, when their spacecraft splashed down in the northern Pacific Ocean.
Apollo 8’s successful mission paved the way for Apollo 11 to fulfill US President John F Kennedy’s goal of landing a man on the Moon before the end of the 1960s.
