I strongly urge everyone to read "Apollo 8" by Jeffrey Kluger, who also wrote the book that inspired the film 'Apollo 13'. "Apollo 8" was THE BEST book I have ever read in my life, not just about spaceflight but in general. What they accomplished on that single flight to the Moon was incredible and it put NASA ahead in the race to the Moon which was critical since there were delays in getting the Lunar Module ready for flight, but it did fly for the first time on its test flight in Earth orbit on Apollo 9.
Just make sure you watch the DVD version, and not the 1080p/4K streaming or bluray versions. For the HD "remaster", they replaced the original Emmy award winning VFX shots with super low budget CG, and it looks it.
RIP MR Anders …..😢
The first man to see and show us from another world !

For anyone who hasn’t seen this before then you have a great treat. Try to watch the entire series.
It’s awesome !

Why is the CM/SM making that rumble? First it's in the vacuum of space, second, it's coasting.
