Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders became the first humans to enter the gravitational influence of another celestial body #OTD in 1968. They also captured the record for the furthest anyone had travelled from Earth.
Only one of these 3 still holds the record. Tell us why!

In 'Rocket Men,' Robert Kurson retells 'greatest space story ever told'



April 5, 2018 — Robert Kurson was there to see a submarine.

The author of the 2004 bestseller "Shadow Divers" about the discovery of a World War II German U-boat off the coast of New Jersey, Kurson was at the Museum of Science and Industry in his hometown of Chicago to see a similar submarine when he happened across the exhibit of a space capsule.

The sight of the Apollo 8 command module and a nearby placard explaining that it had carried the first humans to fly to the moon caught Kurson's attention. Reading more about Frank Borman's, Jim Lovell's and Bill Anders' journey after he returned home, Kurson came to a realization, "this is the best space story of them all." (...)

Zastanawiam się która to mogła być godzina naszego czasu jak załoga Apollo 8 w wigilię Bożego Narodzenia 1968 roku składała pamiętne świąteczne życzenia ludziom na Ziemi? Czy ktoś może wie?

Wodowanie 27.12.1968 o 15:51:42, na Oceanie Spokojnym w punkcie o współrzędnych 8,10° N, 165,01° W, 2,6 km od planowanego miejsca. Kabina ustabilizowała się w pozycji numer 2, tzn. dziobem do dołu. Po napełnieniu gazem balonów pływakowych (6 minut później) przywrócono pozycję zasadniczą. Okręt odbiorczy USS Yorktown ewakuował załogę dopiero 88 minut po wodowaniu, ponieważ nastąpiło ono przed nastaniem świtu.

Apollo 8 provided important experience in deep space navigation. To determine position in space, astronaut Jim Lovell would locate a specific star using a telescope and then take a fix using a sextant: https://s.si.edu/47bkGdX

Splashing down #OTD in 1968, NASA's first crewed lunar mission—Apollo 8, was a success that reverberated around the world.
After the mission, Commander Frank Borman received a telegram from an unknown well-wisher: "Thank you Apollo 8. You saved 1968."

Apollo 8: Part 2
Feb. 1, 2019

(...) Walt Cunningham: Well, it's interesting.  Some of the things that the public is not aware of because it isn't in kind of the public record about it but originally Apollo 8 was essentially the same kind of test mission as we had on 7 except they were going to be going out I think 8,000 feet -- 8,000 feet -- 8,000 miles away from the earth to do it.  But that decision was an administrative decision that was worked on, had a lot of debating going on back and forth, but they started training Apollo 8 to do that about 8 or 10 weeks, about 8 weeks before we flew.  And so they were trained up to do it but they could not get approvals to do that unless we had that test flight.  So two weeks after we flew, people think that that's when they dreamed up to send Apollo 8 to the moon.  No, they were trained in doing that for a long time and after we were successful is when they committed to go out and do it.

Gerry Griffin: That's funny.  Because I remember, Glynn, I don't know when you got right into 8, but I was a flight director with Glynn on 7.  I didn't know we were going to go to the moon until after we splashed down on 7.

Glynn Lunney: I didn't know either.  And I was walking out of the control center when the flight -- the Apollo 7 flight was over, and Cliff Charlesworth sidled up to me and says, I have to tell you what we're going to do next.  [Laughter].  And he did.  My first reaction was, we can't do that.  We're not ready and rrr, rrr, rrr.  But that was a typical reaction that everybody had because it was a new thought for people.  But when we thought about it for a while, we had to go into lunar orbit sooner or later.  So why not now?  What are we waiting for?  And there wasn't any answer to what are we waiting for, except that it was a big step.  And I have to say that Apollo 8 -- following Apollo 7 and Apollo 8, it was like we were on a slide downhill to get to the lunar manning missing.  That we flew a flight -- earth to orbit exercise and everything.  We had to exercise.  And then we flew a flight into lunar orbit doing the same thing.  And by that time, we were ready to call for a landing.

Happy Birthday Frank Borman 93 today! Commander of Gemini 7 and hero to people around the world when he led a team of astronauts on NASA's first moon-orbiting space mission in 1968. #Apollo8

Najlepsze życzenia!

Szkoda, że nie ma oddzielnego wątku o NIM.
