And on this date in 1968, Apollo 8 lifted off from what was then known as Cape Kennedy, and circled the moon on Christmas Eve. We were on our way to the city via bus, and the driver had a radio tuned to the broadcast of the liftoff. Once we got to PABT, it was off to Brooklyn via IND and Lonesome Larry. The BMT standards were still holding down the fort, but the R-7/9s were coming.
