May these smiles keep inspiring many generations… and then some more. 🚀✨

I was just a kid, but I remember it well. The confusion, the slow motion horror, all framed so jarringly against that blue sky.
37 years later, I still know all their names.

Eileen Collins is a retired NASA astronaut and USAF colonel. She was the first woman to pilot the Space Shuttle and the first to command a Space Shuttle mission.
In 2005 she commanded NASA's "return to flight" mission after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, to test safety improvements and resupply the International Space Station (ISS). She was the first astronaut to fly the orbiter through a complete 360-degree pitch maneuver.

The later #Apollo SIV-B third stages were smashed into the moon for seismic data, but the ones used for Apollo 8-12 are still out there somewhere!

Who's that streaking through the sky? It's not Santa Claus, it's #Apollo8 screaming across the sky to bring all the world joy, #OTD December 27, 1968. This photograph was taken at 40,000 feet by a nearby aircraft as Apollo 8 reentered the Earth's atmosphere. To the moon and back - the greatest pioneering adventure in this history of humankind was a resounding success. Happy #Apollomas all, until next year!

"From the crew of Apollo 8, we close with goodnight, good luck, a merry Christmas, and god bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth."

Earthrise! Photograph taken #OTD 1968 by astronauts Bill Anders, as #Apollo8 emerged from the far side of the moon. Looking back homewards from another world - a completely new perspective of our place in the universe

Photograph from the second day of the Apollo 8 flight. After 4.5 billion years, the children of the Good Earth were able to see all the world as one for the very first time.

Aviator Charles Lindbergh was born before the Kitty Hawk flights. As a young man in 1927, he made a daring, first of it's kind flight across the Atlantic Ocean from NYC all the way to Paris. He lived to see the day that man would cross the vast and empty ocean of deep space. Truly incredible, the march of progress within one human lifetime.
