35 years ago today the crew of Apollo 8, the first humans to leave Earth orbit, became a satellite of our own satellite.
"The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring and it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth." -Jim Lovell, Apollo 8
"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."-Frank Borman, Apollo 8
