AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: RACE TO THE MOON

Inside the high-stakes space race.

October 31, 2005

In the early morning hours of December 21, 1968, three astronauts
strapped themselves into a tiny capsule perched atop the most powerful
rocket ever built. They were about to attempt the most daring,
dangerous mission in the history of exploration: a journey from the
earth to the moon. The three men were the crew of Apollo 8 -- the
first manned mission to the moon.
