About Apollo 8

Apollo 8 was the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon, paving the way for the Apollo 11 landing. Launched in 1968, the mission captured the world’s imagination as its crew spent Christmas in lunar orbit and broadcast the famous “Earthrise” image back to Earth. This launch photograph—taken moments after liftoff—commemorates that bold leap into the unknown.
