Apollo 8: Earth's Rise to a New Era

The audio documentary, Apollo 8: Earth's Rise to a New Era, features excerpts of oral histories combined with a narration to present a unique perspective on a venture that resulted in humankind's first voyage to another celestial body.

The voices from these managers, engineers, and astronauts convey the significance of a mission necessary for the success of the manned lunar landings that followed. Hearing their emotions as they speak, soundly reinforces the immediate impact this mission had on NASA, as well as its effect on a nation's goals.

Narrated by Clay Morgan, Apollo 8: Earth's Rise to a New Era was recorded in December 1998 in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Apollo 8.
