During my morning cruise through the Internet news, I came across this...
http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/12/22/apollo8.anniversary/index.html
I'm pretty obsessed by dates and anniversaries but this one I had forgotten. (Surprising considering I have a copy of "Genesis - The Story of Apollo 8" on my bookshelf; parked right beside Alan Watson's "The Germans". The irony of this book filing order is that certain Germans were instrumental in helping the U.S. achieve its rocketry goals.) Perhaps I am denying not only the aging process but its very existence.
To this little tyke of 1968, astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and William Anders were heroes.
