USA-ASTRO-APOLLO 8

From L to R, Apollo 8 astronauts spacecraft Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders, who became the first humans to escape Earth's gravity and the first humans to see the far side of the Moon, look up at cheering crewmen on the upper deck of the USS Yorktown, recovery ship for the Apollo 8 mission, 27 December 1968, after having steped from the helicopter which brought them from their landing point in the Pacific ocean. After launching 21 December 1968, the crew took three days to travel to the Moon, orbited it ten times, 20 hours in total, and landed 27 December 1968 in the Pacific.
