’Twas the Apollo Before Christmas

The historic year 1968 was closed out by NASA with a first-of-its-kind accomplishment: putting human beings in orbit around Earth’s Moon, a feat that also provided the people of Earth with their first-ever view of their planet from afar. So cozy up around the fire and join us to recall the events of fifty years ago which forged the path to those first footprints on the Moon.
