Apollo 8 and the reading of Genesis was absolutely the high point of the space program for me. I was 10 and knew it was something big, but seeing my father’s reaction is what really drove the point home. A few months before, he had built a nice Heathkit shortwave radio and was quite entertained listening to it in the few spare moments he had. He was an engineer with Lockheed - and a man providing very well for his family - and his leisure time was scarce.
On that Christmas Eve he had some far-off station tuned in, and they were playing the American Apollo broadcast as it happened. I had no idea what that enthusiastic foreign announcer was saying, but the excitement in his voice was nothing compared to the excitement on my dad’s face.
Fifty years later it is still a keystone memory of my childhood and I consider myself lucky to have witnessed it 12/24/68

In 1968, I lived in a small German village in West Germany. I was 10 years old. Our family listened to the launch and mission of Apollo 8 on the Armed Forces Network (AM station). This event held our attention and imagination for days and weeks on end. It was a daily topic in school for months. The science club got very popular as well. Amazing times during the Apollo era.

68 was a year to remember.....so much water under the bridge.... I was young 10 years old and life was all play.... Never thought I'd get this far. I do remember the Apollo missions.... I had a dream.... We would be going to the stars by the time I grew up..., what happened...? I'll never get to space now.... And I'm ready to go. Bless those guys they gave us hope. Thañkyou.🎖️🎖

1968 the year RFK and MLK were assassinated. That's why Apollo 8 saved the year. It gave us hope in ourselves and in the future.
