Forty years ago the first human beings navigated the first human spacecraft around the Moon on Christmas eve 24 December 1968 following the launch from Earth. A little more than six months later the first humans set foot on the surface of the lunar surface marking a new epoch in the Space Age. The Chicago Tribune recently did a series on the Apollo 8 Christmas. Astronauts on the International Space Station paid tribute to the Apollo 8 crew of 40 years ago in this video.
