Broadcast 642 (Special Edition)

Jim McDade returned to The Space Show for a special tribute program dedicated to Apollo 8, the flight that went around the Moon, Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 1968. Jim discussed the flight in detail, compared it to events taking place today in space and the country and we played many of the actual Apollo 8 cuts including the liftoff, the TLI, TEI pre and post and much more. We also played the crew reading from Genesis as they orbited the Moon. Jim fielded many questions and comments from listeners regarding then and now. Don't miss this tribute program!
