In December 1968, Apollo 8 was the first crewed spacecraft to reach the moon. After taking three days to reach the moon itself, the astronauts were able to broadcast the earthrise over the moon in a breathtaking Christmas Eve programme. At the time, this was the most watched television broadcast in history. As a result, Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders officially became the first human beings to witness the Earthrise, remaining part of this elite group to this day.
