Abstract
Before Neil Armstrong could take his “one giant leap for mankind,” the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) needed to confirm that a manned spacecraft could break free of the Earth’s gravitational pull, orbit the Moon, and successfully return home. This was Apollo 8’s mission, and from launch to splashdown, NASA had meticulously planned every minute of flight.
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
