4.0 out of 5 stars Apollo 8: Christmas at the Moon, December 24, 2008

This review is from: Apollo 8: Christmas At The Moon (DVD)

I just viewed this program on our local PBS station, and it was phenomenal. The 40th anniversary broadcast on the eve of Christmas took me back to the days of turmoil of 1968 and the huge pride of accomplishment it gave the USA in the final days of the year. The program includes interviews from the retired astronauts and other prominent people involved with the mission. I was stunned to learn that a lot of the mission staff average age was 25. The multiple angle camera shots of the liftoff are especially moving with the earth shaking roar of that Saturn 5 rocket. This was the first time mankind left the earth, and the resulting religious impact it had on The Apollo 8 crew - Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders looking back and seeing the earth growing smaller and smaller as they sped away toward the moon. The resulting unplanned photo of earth rise gave us all the impact of how precious our little planet is.
