Apollo 8: The Thrilling Story of the First Mission to the Moon
On Christmas Eve in 1968, NASA launched a bold mission to send three astronauts on a historic journey to the moon. Against all odds, Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders successfully completed the first manned flight to lunar orbit.
This gripping narrative tells the story of the Apollo 8 mission from its early days at Mission Control to the triumphant return of the astronauts. With unprecedented access to the astronauts themselves, Jeffrey Kluger brings to life a pivotal moment in space exploration that inspired a nation and paved the way for future achievements.
