Christmas Eve 40 years ago: Frank Borman’s Christmas Message from Apollo 8
Apollo 8 was the first space vehicle to leave Earth’s orbit and orbit the Moon. It was December 1968, and America was still reaching for the stars, and was not afraid to broadcast a Bible passage on national television. It was an America that said “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Chanukah” instead of the generic “Happy Holidays”. On December 24, 1968, Apollo 8 Mission Commander Frank Borman greeted his fellow men and women with a Christmas message and reading from the book of Genesis. Enjoy the You Tube of Col Borman’s message.
