In this minisode, Mark takes us further than we've ever been before, in a story that's out of this world! From Houston, Texas, in 1968, we tell the story of the USA's space programme and how Christmas came to be the backdrop to the first voyage by humans around the moon. Often overshadowed by Apollo 11's Moon Landing a few months later, Apollo 8 laid vital foundations, and took place during the festive season, watched by millions of families around the world.
Hosts are Luke (@thelukejkelly), Mark (@markboyle86) and Joe (@anbeirneach). A list of music used is in the shownotes on our website. From all of us at 80 Days, we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
