Galaxiki Community BlogSubscribe via RSS Happy Apollo 8 Day!December 21, 2007by databit On this day, December 21, 1968, the first manned mission to the moon took off from Cape Canaveral. Apollo 8 carried Frank Borman James Lovell, Jr., and William Anders into orbit around the moon. Three days later, on Christmas Eve, the space ship entered orbit around our only natural satellite. They were the first humans to be able to see the dark side of the moon. The Apollo module orbited 10 times, taking pictures and television footage before returning to Earth orbit. On December 27, 1968, they returned to earth in a splashdown into the Pacific Ocean.
