In some ways this was bigger than Apollo 11.This was the first time man had left Earth and headed toward another world.It was a giant step for the moon landing.It reached the moon on Christmas Eve and I remember thinking what a Christmas present for America.The reading from Genesis as it approached darkness and the pictures of the Earth rising from the moon's horizon. It was put on a 8 cent stamp and I still have one.
It was the boldest thing NASA ever did. Of course, they were carefully prepared. It was bold, but not impulsive or blind.
Yeah. I was 11 and a budding space nut having filmed gemini TV broadcasts on our family 8 mm camera! I am not christian although raised greek orthodox, now preferring more of the Buddhism tenets. But watching and listening to this was pretty moving at the time
Yes Apollo 8 was bold as it flew without a lunar module, which served as a life boat for the Apollo 13 crew to come back to earth alive.
@@catprincess9 Another mind mush statement.
I know there is a young twit in another documentary that said that about the LEM wasn't there to be a 'life boat' for Apollo 8, he is full of it and stuck you with bologna.
I was 14 when 11 landed and watched plenty of documentaries since.
You can believe what ever you want but the 'life boat' idea had not been thought of until Apollo13...period.
One other thing people don't understand the Astronauts were in no danger from the short exposure to Van Allen Belts but were in complete awareness
IF a solar flare, which we had no ability to detect, hit the Earth system while they were beyond the Van Allen Belts...they would be cooked.
That is the main reason we are not headed to Mars real soon.
Imagine being those guys, they were the first to leave Earth for another body in space.
They proved it was possible.
That had to be more of a rush than either Apollo 10 or 11.
Watching this on July 20, 2019. This never gets old.
And nearly a year ahead I agree!
Agreed. I’ve probably watched every Apollo documentary ever created at least twice and have read many books about it as well.
This video is the first moon orbits of Apollo 8 in Dec 1968.
Deke Slayton was a genius. He assigns the super strack Borman as commander, the unparalleled Lovell as navigator and the philosophical Anders to Apollo 8; the first class professional team of Stafford and Cernan to ensure the LM is working perfectly on Apollo 10; and assigns the ever reliable Collins as CMP, the orbital mechanics genius Aldrin as LM pilot, and the coolest, most capable pilot of the entire program, Armstrong, to put it down.
I got to see Apollo 8 on the pad when my family visited Cape Kennedy in August 1968. I was 12 years old.
Cool. By chance I had the opportunity to hitchhike down to the Cape in December, sleep on the beach, and experience [you just don't LOOK] the launch. Luckiest accidental roadtrip of my life.
That must've been incredible. A treasured memory.
Sweet!
I didn't realise they had them sitting on the pad that long. Lot's of testing to do I suppose.
I was twelve then too. Bliss it was in that dawn to be alive, But to be young was very heaven.
Was the world honestly united as this video says? In Moscow they weren't grumbling about being beaten, and felt it was an honest human effort together? Or was it mostly one sided in the west.
Saw this in Australia when I was 7 years old.
50 years later and mankind hasn’t achieved anything comparable to this Apollo degree.
It’s definitely the pinnacle of human achievement to date. Only humans to Mars can top it.
Afghanistan ring a BELL
We can make men into women now. Wayyy cooler than littering the moon….
@@MillerVanDotTV What litter on the Moon?
@@RideAcrossTheRiver a bunch of Grumman LM's, some rovers, golf balls, and an imperialist flag. (imagine claiming a natural satellite as yours). No reason to disturb the lunar surface at all.
This still gives me chills. What a triumph... and hasn't been repeated in over 40 years.
Artemis I begins August 29, 2022.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Artemis I was a success and the crew of Artemis II was recently announced! Artemis II currently set for November of 2024, along with the first Gateway launch.
@@EchoesDistant And the first multi-national crew to leave Earth orbit!
14:29 "I think Isaac Newton is doing most of the driving right now". What a great quote! Classical mechanics was all you needed for missions to the moon and back.
Cool comment. I've always thought of this as an engineering feat.
I'll never forget that Christmas Eve. As always when I was young, the whole family was gathered at my grandparents' house. We were all gathered around the black-and-white TV when they read from Genesis. It touched everyone there even though most were not churchgoers.
Truly focused, brave, intelligent and humble men.
All of them. But yea Jim Lovell is especially a damn hero. What a man.
My favorite Apollo mission! Probably my favorite space mission all together.
For those born after Apollo, to give you a feel for what it was like to witness these Apollo telecasts, it would NOT be like if we sent a crew to Mars or another planet in our solar system and saw those pictures, but rather more like if we sent a crew to a planet in another star system around an earth-like planet and saw pictures from there. It was all so new.
Thank you so much for putting that into perspective! I was born in '72 but still find it fascinating to watch this coverage some 55 years later. :)
This was without a doubt THE greatest adventure and exploration in the history of mankind; for me this outshines Apollo 11 by miles. These were the first humans ever to lose total contact with planet Earth when they flew around the far side of the Moon for the first time. Awesome!!!
It does outstretch Apollo 11 in many ways; shame more people don't realize it.
It was also more daring than the other Apollo missions as it flew without a lunar module which served as a lifeboat for the Apollo 13 crew and brought them back to earth safely!
The 're entry' was a military drop from a cargo plane.
The more observant amongst you will notice no steam comes off of that capsule when it hits the water, despite it being subjected to massive temperatures had it actually come through the atmosphere.
@@neilarmstrongsson795 The only drop is when they dropped you on your head. They lost plenty of heat during the parachute descent It was slow and gradual.
@@GGE47
Show me the footage of it.
These three men saw with their own eyes what no one before them saw: the Earth from so far away, the far side of the moon and celebrated Christmas in lunar orbit. I often think back to Jim Lovell, who made the trip twice without being able to set foot on the lunar surface when he was supposed to be the fifth man to do so. The most important thing is that he was able to come back alive with his Apollo 13 comrades, thanks to the ingenuity of the men of the NASA and their "D" systems (stupidly different filters from Apollo and the LEM. (Cubes vs cylinders) I was 13 years old in 68 and my father could see the Man walking on our satellite (11 and 12 then the failure of 13); he was to die in November 70. I was amazed not to see any more Borman and Anders on the missions that followed, like John Young (10 and 16) Great Era for Man in space.
I remember my grandfather being very excited about this mission. These are the days when America did great things and accomplished things. I don't think we'll ever see it again in our lifetime.
Not with a NASA budget of today about 5% what it was in 1968.
After 2 infamous Assassinations in April and in June 1968 and after 7 imbeciles shattered Chicago with blood and glass during the Dem Convention, Apollo 7 and 8 were a welcome change of pace and venue.
WOW thanks for the memories i was glued to to television when i was a kid watching this on xmas eve . What fantastic times it was .
Me too! My parents gave the school I would be out for a few days! I was glued to the Tv
This was the greatest event that the world witnessed. I remember watching on tv.we have come a long way in history, a shaping of the world any other time in history.
@Mooney Zajda you sound jelious, probably because you are, your people are probably still swinging from tree to tree and chasing goats... Loser!
This was a momentous day. When man first ventured far away from the Earth.
Loved the banter between the astronauts.
"Would we land on the brown part of the Earth or the blue part?"
"You'd better hope we land on the blue part!"
PunkDemonNeo The Russians have always landed on the brown part.

Apollo 8 is my favorite Apollo mission.
This video is GOLD! Please preserve for future generations to see and appreciate how far humans have come in such a short time.
There were many firsts during this mission - The first time men ever rode on the gigantic Saturn V rocket, the first time men left Earth orbit, the first time men traveled farthest from home planet, the first time men ever say the far side of the moon. It was all done with perfect precision - NASA estimated the spacecraft to orbit at 69 miles above the moon which was dangerously too low for a first mission but was much needed to land men on the moon. After firing the SRS for LOI (lunar orbit insertion), they found out they were 69.9 miles above the moon surface. Such a precision it was!
Dangerously low? Then the 100 - 200 mile orbits above earth were super "dangerouly low"
And also the first to re-enter earth's atmosphere at such a high speed of 25000 miles per hour!
It was also more daring than the other Apollo missions as it flew without a lunar module which served as a lifeboat for the Apollo 13 crew and brought them back to earth safely!
Ummm..Apollo 7 was the first time astronauts were on board the Saturn V
@@wildbill7267 Apollo 7 rode on a Saturn IB. Apollo 8 was the first manned Saturn V
Such an amazing effort by everyone involved. It'd be great to see people come together like this again.
The space program would never have been the same without Jack King and his countdowns throughout all the missions…
When we left Earth, for the first time. Are you watching this today December 21, 2018, the 50th anniversary of this historic moment?
Yep
not “we” , “they”.
Actually "we". We the people of the US did that. "They" realized that fact.
@@37rainman , thank you for stating that.
+Colin:j When a significantly large percentage of this country believes that money grows on trees, we are thru. We are almost there........
4:14
This was the moment when humans first saw their planet from the outside.
First time someone went outside to take a picture.
December, 1968.
I was in 7th grade and a nerd. The family drove from Chicago to Miami to visit my father’s sister. My cousin took me to the cape to watch the launch. We followed all the telecasts.
What an exciting time in human history and to be an American.
After Neil walked on the moon I thought more great things would come.
But sadly no, the nation has been on a decline ever since.
Sadly true, regarding our decline.
It was a really important and possibly the most dangerous moon mission. Those guys were super heroes!
Go mike Collins! The best!
God bless America. I saw Apollo 11 launch and landing on moon on TV as a german boy 9 years old. God bless America.
Agree...but that was then,....this is now.......for some people the admiration for everything USA has sadly evaporated..... No matter how much "godly" blessings you wish on her.....Although the Russians have left.....the U.S. army is still occupying Germany.....forcing her Nato lapdogs to have eastward ambitions , propping up neo fascist seperatist mercenaries in the Ukraïne ,which is as inseperable a part of Russia as Alaska is considered to be of the USA , while the former Warsaw Pact has already folded for decades...Nato (which ofcourse was once a valid response to communist world ambitions} only gathers in strength.
Don't forget that the 1918 allied conglomerate and their banks, initially supported and partly bankrolled the nazi powergrab....just like the U.S. did in later years , supporting totalitarian regimes and corrupt dictators....
"In God We Thrust".......But then...that's the way how empires work....it seems unavoidable....I'd rather live in a USA sphere of influence than a Russian.....But let's not have "godly" illusions ....
Dr. Werner Von Braun, Konrad Dannenberg, and the other engineers made it all possible.
The english word "idea" is spelled as well as the old Greek word "idea", eternal immaterial values. Our common western civilisation and culture is a heritage of Greek philosophists like Platon, Aristoteles and others. America itself is a synonyme for eternal values, ideas, in particular freedom and the infinity of human skills. Thank you America for freedom and security for me and my family here in Germany in the last 73 years , thank you for your wonderful Apollo project, for inspiration and protection. God bless America
Although.......can't blame the countless American underachievers too much, who doubt this last great heroic U.S. achievement ever happened, and was all a Hollywood hoax , the way how religious nuts hijacked Apollo 8 with *_their_* genesis fairytale.... HalleluJAH !......Praise Jééééésus...... *and* Uncle Sam.... 🚀🌝☝🏻👼🏻
@@PAULLONDEN Paul, America is great and powerfull. It's not a religion but a great idea. Wishes for blessings hold for the wonderful and great America that I learnt about. America did the dirty work against the enemy of freedom and goodness. I know there are different things in USA now, but America is much, much more than "Uncle Sam". Apollo Project is one of many unequivocal proofs, one of the greatest ever. It's an epos.
Great times, great men :-)
My all time favorite Apollo mission !!!!!
Outstanding video! My favorite Apollo mission. Such a bold move.
Go big or go home..
"...became the first humans to: travel beyond low Earth orbit; see Earth as a whole planet; enter the gravity well of another celestial body (Earth's moon); orbit another celestial body (Earth's moon); directly see the far side of the Moon with their own eyes; witness an Earthrise; escape the gravity of another celestial body (Earth's moon); and re-enter the gravitational well of Earth."
And all that was done before lunch.
Well, before Xmas
Muslims there before
There was a cartoon in the (UK) Daily Express at the time of two people trying to do their christmas shopping in London. It is cold and raining hard, the streets are crowded and the shops packed. One says to the other, "You know who I vote the three wise men this Christmas? The three who hoofed it off round the back of the moon."
Robert Billing A nice memory. I wonder if such cartoons existed at all then in the Soviet Press.
Rigby was an Australian cartoonist during the time of the Apollo programme. This memory is a little off-topic for this video, but he published a cartoon after the Apollo 11 landing. In it, two battle weary American soldiers in Vietnam are looking up at the Moon and one says: "On the Moon or a mine, the step's still the same."
Always loved the smoking controllers.
We will never be that cool ever again.
stunning footage again
Today is January 28, 2019. It is the 33rd anniversary of the Challenger space shuttle disaster which occurred about 90 seconds after takeoff on January 28, 1986. All of the astronauts were probably alive until the intact cockpit smashed into the ocean at hundreds of miles per hour. A few of the astronauts were able to have placed oxygen masks onto their faces. Those who didn't were probably unconscious on the way down. Even those who had masks on probably became unconscious due to the spinning g-forces of the cabin falling into the ocean. Let us pray they were asleep when they hit the ocean.
Thirty-three years ago today, a teacher was the first person other than a scientist who was allowed to become an astronaut during a Space Shuttle missions. Christa McAuliffe was that teacher. She had to surpass thousands of other applicants to have been chosen. But before she was selected, she had to face an interview with one particular NASA appointed scientist. His name is Dr. Richard Berendzen, Ph.D. He wrote the famous book entitled "Pulp Physics" wherein he describes his privilege of interviewing Christa for the mission.
He said he was asked by NASA to interview the final applicants for the mission. It was becoming later in the evening at a local hotel ballroom where tables were set to interview applicants. Finally, Christa sat down before him. He had interviewed others but was not so impressed until he decided to bate Christa with a loaded question. He asked her something like this: "So why should a teacher be the first person other than a trained astronaut go on the Space Shuttle"? Christa humbly replied: "But don't you see, we teachers- we touch the face of the future".
Dr. Berendzen was compelled to report to his committee. He said: "I think we've found the one. I believe we found our teacher who is going into space". Source: "Pulp Physics: Astronomy: Humankind in Space and time. By Dr. Richard Berendzen.
The solid rocket booster leaked against the fuel tank and exploded. The seals were not designed for cold weather launches.
It was a tragic accident. Cold weather should have scrubbed the Challenger mission.
Excellent video!!! keep up the good work!
The first deep space flight with all the dangers that implies, brave men,,,,
Apollo 8 = EPIC, on many levels. (Not to mention no LEM for a lifeboat, thus the Apollo 13 explosion scenario would've been certain death for Lovell, Anders, and Borman. )
They tested Apollo 8 to death beforehand. They were a little careless with the SM for Apollo 13 (change to fuel cells without another test).
bostonseeker
Perhaps you had better read up a little more on the cause of the Apollo 13 explosion. It had nothing to do with the fuel cells.
Funny you say that cause Apollo 8 had the exact same systems that caused the explosion on Apollo 13 which they later changed.
Great video....
It was, indeed, the greatest adventure...
The S4B was put in an orbit around the Sun? That I didn't know. See...you're never too old.
check out the telescopic photo of apollo 8's S4B stage releasing its fuel into space. HUGE swirl of gas against the stars taken from a ground based telescope. awesome view. was in national geographic.
Some of the S-IVB boosters were crashed into the Moon, to set off small artificial moonquakes and make measurements.
And 50+ years later, there has still been no machine as completely bad a$$ as a Saturn V Moon rocket. 🤟
Artemis I will carry the torch.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Or be a torch!
@@drcthru7672 Why would it explode?
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Look at its history.
@@drcthru7672 Let's see ... it's using SSMEs, tank design, and SRBs that have been flight tested successfully hundreds of times.

Awe-inspiring.
What a Christmas present.
That last prayer was a good one.
Low sun angle/deep shadow photos of the Moon R haunting; there could B Selenites...
It still amazes me they did this with computers that were slower than a $1 calculator you can buy nowadays.
Really think about it though; Let's say you have two $1 pocket calculators, Labelled calculator A and B. They both need to calculate the same equation. Calculator A receives the variables for the equation at the speed in which the sensors can output them (speed of "electricity") and Calculator B has to rely on a human to manually hunt-n-peck buttons to enter the variables. Calculator A is going to be a super computer compared with B that's reliant on the slow human. You can calculate orbital mechanics with any cheap, low powered calculator. Even if the equation is 1 + 1, the human is going to be exponentially slower than the calculator that can do it almost instantly. I find it amazing the things we built using just slide rulers and 2d paper drawings.
Well that's not very fair. The computers aboard the command modules are way more advanced than a $1 calculator and can carry out significantly more complicated tasks through an ingenious system of simple tasks. It's not all about the hardware, but also the software

50 years ago people didnt make the kind of idiotic comments like some i have read in these posts. Guess thats why we had the intelligence to get to the moon.
The earth is flat, the landings were hoaxed, the moon is a hologram, the sun placed by aliens, ... yes after the 70's some say the iq level dropped and with an alarming rate
And now we're spending millions to put cars into orbit as glorified ads.

I'm shamed to be part of the same genome that have made the comments below.
The irony is the brother of the man who as President vowed to put a Man on the Moon in 1969 had been assassinated 6 months before this Mission, and ML King Jr 2 months before that. What a crazy time for America!
How fast is trans luner insertion...? Is it the fastest any humans have been in space 🚀....I'm fascinated by the cool epic journey to the moon and I will always remember seeing it on my parents color TV set when this first trip to the moon....

Wathing this on 13th of march 2020
TBB GAMES my birthday! I loved space flights since I was a kid. I remember Alan Shephard's flight. Followed every Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo flight. Met a real astronaut, Chris Hadfield, some years back. What a thrill!
8 9 and 10 were practice runs.
11 was first attempted landing.
There was a significant omission after 19:40. The big three rocket scientists were Goddard, Oberth, and Tsiolkovsky. Oberth, the mentor of von Braun, was overlooked.
I love see
13:13 Strictly speaking, that might not have been totally true. Some problem might have been arisen that could be solved after some nervous minutes or even some hours, and the TEI could be done on a later orbit. Still, various considerations meant that they couldn't delay all that long. This was no luxury cruise.
Great computers no flaws
When starting the entrance into the earth atmosphere, it is a movie that showed the Apolo 8. How was that movie made ?
Thanks so much
At 17:00? It's obviously animated.
We all knew when these animations were being played, for our education purposes. People were smarter back then.
Why did you clip out the reading of Genesis?
It was at the end.
Bob Byerly your god does not matter to mankind
they should explain why the heat shield temperatures of 5000 Degrees stop radio communication. The disruption is due to the ionization of the atoms and gasses in the atmosphere
Verner! 😮they stood on your shoulders 😂🎉
Why do you have 1969 in the title when the event took place in 1968?
apollo 8 happened in the last days of '68, but the production and release of this film was in '69.
Newton is doing the deriving haha love it
Why does the title of the video state 1969?
The Apollo 8 mission occurred in December of 1968.
Allen Grundmeier The movie was made in 1969.
This happens Christmas eve 1968. At that time I thought this was the coolest thing to ever happen, because it was.
The mission ended with 3 days left of the year, so the documentary was completed in April of 1969.
I love this classic America voice 🥺🤍
Apollo-8 in this Rocket u just saw the Moon near by how many Kms. height ?
60mi, so about 96.5km
No air on the Moon. So you can orbit very low, as low as the lunar mountains will allow.
The human eye can resolve more detail and low light than film. The film was exposed to record the spacecraft interior not the stars. The telescope on the CSM could also resolves fainter stars than even the human eye can resolve. Go out on a clear night in a city or town and look up. You'll probably see a few stars here and there but if you use binoculars or a telescope you'll see many more.
There was the bright glare of the Sun and Moon to keep the human eye from perceiving stars. And once the S-IVB booster was jettisoned, there was a plume of dumped fuel obscuring the stars.
10.50 number 8 ?
Hey AirBoyd, Apollo 8 was 1968.
I wonder if this narrator is Larry Burrell? He was the narrator of the movie "The Creeping Terror."
That's is very important but not have a many camera's everywhere to can see why??
Besides what this video shows, photography was a major objective of Apollo 8.

Yln Murthy 100k meter orbit
First time humans in lunar orbit, and first time humans left the Earth as a celestial body. Previous robots from Soviet Union and the US in lunar orbit.
Of course today, they could not broadcast such a biblical thing.
Golden age of science and religion coexisting in the western world.
Says who? You have no evidence for such a statement. And what’s more it is irrelevant.
Does anyone know who the narrator is? Sounds like ABC's Jules Bergman(sp?); but that is just a guess...
Not Bergman. You can find plenty of clips to hear his voice. No match.
Not enough delta v?
With the date that you show in the title it would of been after Apollo 11 when in fact it was in 1968 just letting you know that so maybe you could change it!
I don't get it.
I think your title should be 1968 not ‘69
12:20 they read from the book of Genesis.
Disappointed that this clip cut out their Christmas reading from the Bible.

4:24...Argentina y Chile.
This is real stuff and today 's pupils apparently have not been made to do their homework. one reason is not enough "Tough Love".
They gave Glory to The Father and hence Blessed the Apollo program for its entirety including Apollo 13.
Sooo...Apollo succeeded simply because the first men to go to the Moon read a passage from the bible? Would it have made a difference, you think, if the crew had read from...say, The Lord Of The Rings, or...I don't know...Portnoy's Complaint? How about a quotable quote from from War and Peace - wouldn't the Soviets have loved that? - or perhaps something by Arthur C Clarke? He had a number of humans-on-the-Moon stories published by then.
I prefer to think that Apollo succeeded because of the genius and utter dedication of everyone who had anything to do with it.
I am reminded of a story I heard about the Apollo 1 crew member, Roger Chaffee. During a visit to the Grumman factory on Long Island, where the Lunar Modules were being made, he noticed some workers standing off to one side, ignored by the Grumman executives and visiting Big Bangers. When he asked what they did, he was told that they were the men who made the tools that were used to build and assemble the Lunar Modules. Chaffee went and talked to them and made them feel like the most important workers in the plant, which, if you think about it, they were.
Behind the astronauts and the Ground Control people and all the other stars of the space programme, whom the networks and assorted news media fawned over, were the tens of thousands of ordinary people, like the Grumman tool makers, who were utterly dedicated to the programme, each one determined that if something were to go wrong, it would not be because of something that he or she had done.
*That* is why Apollo succeeded, not because some nebulous creation of the human mind was pleased by a reference from a certain book.
At least *my* spellchecker works...
And you're a foolish and immature person.
Blessed it so much it nearly killed three people. Go back to your doublewide, Jesus Freak. We don't need your childish celebration of the supernatural.
@@MarsFKA triggered?, if you want respect show it!
instead of slamming back into Earth at 27K, why didn't Apollo do an orbital burn of Earth coming back and then a burn to circularize the orbit before entry?
Service module didn't have enough fuel to do that!
Read the description -___-"
Some people are stupid enough to think that this stuff never happened. I can assure them that it did. They need to go tour Kennedy Space Center. Would change their mind.
"They" have. "They" still think it didn't. Too bad for them. No loss... except that it paved the way for more personal incredulity which MAY be harmful to them and others.
Another AMERICAN accomplishment!!
We land on the brown parts now
There is no equivalent today.
Do I need an IQ of less than 70 to post on this video or is anyone allowed?
Apollo 8 - Go For TLI (1968)
The heading is incorrect. The whole Apollo 8 mission took place in December 1968, not at all in 1969.
The mission was in December 1968. The actual film you're watching was made in 1969. The year is when the program was made by NASA, not the year of the mission.
The glory years of the USA.
Mighty Men; awesome God.
This would not pass the PC test of today. All white and males and smoking!!!
Not able to go back to the moon with the current crew.
Well, other than the smoking, that's the only way it could've been accomplished.
Didn't pass the PC test of yesterday, either. Because of the religious undertones, Aldrin was forced to take Communion in private on the moon.
What a strange comment to make, obviously no critical thinking in your mind. Bet you studied humanities and arts; not science, mathematics engineering. Maybe your uneducated, it doesn't really matter.
Ask yourself what comes first, shelter or philosophy..... we are all subjects to our age.
@@Mark-ok8ss Actually, sociology would prove Chimes Media correct.
Apollo 8 is more impressive than Apollo11.
