US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Peter Willis: Anybody hungry?

US Air Force Colonel Charles Brubaker: No.

US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Peter Willis: Oh, the marvels of American science. Here we are, millions of miles from Earth. We can still send out for pizza.

US Air Force Colonel Charles Brubaker: I'm not going to do it.

US Navy Commander John Walker: Not going to do what?

US Air Force Colonel Charles Brubaker: Tomorrow. I'm not going to sit in this thing and talk to my wife and tell her everything's going fine. I'm not going to do it. I tried. I got two little kids with big, bright eyes. I used to tell them their daddy was going to make them proud of him - like he was of them. And now I got to go home. I got to kiss them and I got to look in their eyes and tell them I really did this? I don't know. Maybe that's better than telling them I really didn't do it.

US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Peter Willis: I wish I knew what was right. I really don't.

US Air Force Colonel Charles Brubaker: We've been sitting around here for months, telling their lies for them. I don't want to do it anymore.

US Navy Commander John Walker: Okay, so we go and blow the whole thing tomorrow on national TV. Then what have we done?

US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Peter Willis: We screw up a lot of people's dinner.

US Air Force Colonel Charles Brubaker: We've already screwed ourselves.

US Navy Commander John Walker: Okay, so what do we accomplish by screwing everybody else?

US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Peter Willis: He's got a point there, you know. We went along with this because of you. You and our families. Now you want to go out in some terrific blaze of glory and we get pulverized in the process? And our families. What about our families?

Insignia

The patch's unique orange and black colors are a link to the flight's original scheduled date close to Halloween. The Roman numeral XII is located at the 12 o'clock position on the face of a clock, with the Gemini spacecraft pointing to it like the hour hand of a clock. This represents the position of Gemini 12 as the last flight of the Gemini program. With the Apollo project following this last flight of the Gemini program, the ultimate objective -- the moon -- is symbolized by the crescent on the left.

Apollo 8

21 December 1968 07:51 GMT. Landing Date: 1968-12-27 10:51:42 PM. Flight Time: 6.13 days.


On the fourth day, Christmas Eve, communications were interrupted as Apollo 8 passed behind the moon, and the astronauts became the first men to see the moon's far side. Later that day , during the evening hours in the United States, the crew read the first 10 verses of Genesis on television to earth and wished viewers "goodnight, good luck, a Merry Christmas and God bless all of you - all of you on the good earth."

Subsequently, TV Guide for May 10-16, 1969, claimed that one out of every four persons on earth - nearly 1 billion people in 64 countries - heard the astronauts' reading and greeting, either on radio or on TV; and delayed broadcasts that same day reached 30 additional countries.
