It's been 53 years.
I can still remember like it was yesterday when they got the go-ahead for the burn to take them out of earth orbit and send them to the moon.
“Apollo 8, you are Go for TLI.”
I can still hear it. That was so important at the time. Few would remember it now.

At 2:20. Very cool, never thought about or saw the TLI clip before. Really incredible to think about it now... what bravery it took to light those fires (and maybe kick the tires).

Cool it was launching from a tropical rain forest... the contrast given the technology involved and its space mission.
Sucks it was only about 10 seconds of flight before the clouds obscured the view. WHERE THEM DRONES AT?

Imagine the confusion during meetings as this was developed as they constantly had to convert between perfect american measurements to communist metric bullshit?

Honestly, I'm really looking forward to the images this telescope will provide in the years to come. My prediction, @mark ? The horsehead nebula turns out to not really be a horse, but instead a bunch of stars.
