Apollo 8: Leaving The Cradle - Spacecraft Films

From the NASA Archives

On December 21, 1968, three men boarded an Apollo spacecraft and became the first humans to leave the Earth's environment. This Christmas-time journey, a precursor to the following year's moon landing, remains one of the most fascinating and significant milestones in space exploration.

This 3-disc set chronicles America's first manned lunar orbit from launch to landing with comprehensive footage from the film and videotape records of Apollo 8.
