Apollo 8 was the greatest of all the Apollo missions. The greatest leap into the unknown with the greatest number of unknowns!

For me, Borman and his crewmates never quite got the kudos they deserved.

A true loss.

It’s worse than that. Indiana named a horrible stretch of perpetually under construction interstate after him.

I read this book, https://www.amazon.com/Rocket-Men-Odyssey-Astronauts-Journey... and Apollo 8's accomplishments were way under-rated.
