🔗 55 years ago today, Tucson’s Frank Borman saw ‘Earthrise’
As they circled the moon, they read from the Book of Genesis in a live telecast from the orbiter:
“In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.”
Borman ended the broadcast with, “And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you — all of you on the good Earth.”
