The first joint international mission in 1975, an American Apollo spacecraft docked with the Soviet Soyuz 19 and 3 Astronauts and 2 cosmonauts flew together for 2 days. One of the astronauts was Donald K. Slayton, who was never spposed to fly until his heart health unexpextedly imporved.

Task: navigate a spacecraft at speeds faster than any human has flown towards a moving target a quarter million miles away, enter orbit then return to Earth. The flight of Apollo 8 did just that, and perfectly. On Christmas Eve, humans saw the first Earthrise and the famous "Genesis Reading" It was one of the most beautiful moments in history.
