Apollo 8 Reunion, 4/23/09. 

I know Frank Borman personally as he is one of my neighbors. His personality is just as forward as you see here. He is very down to earth (forgive the pun) and one of the funniest guys I know. He isnt known as Col Borman around here. He is known as Frank. He is a great man that did great things for Aviation and Space programs. Hats off to him and the crew of Apollo 8.

My favorite Apollo mission. These guy s were the first to leave earth's orbit...the first to go into deep space...and the first humans to fly to the moon.

"You can only look out the window and say ooh and ahh for so long." lol

Apollo 8 was my favorite mission

These are the kind of men we need to run for president! 😳😳

When I was 7 years old the only NFL football player I could name was Roman Gabriel, but I could name every astronaut in the Apollo program. Man those were great times!

I really love Commander Lovell's choice of words when talking about the perspective of seeing the earth from the moon: _"...how small a body we all lived [on] and that it was really sort of like a spacecraft with six million astronauts all striving for the same things out of life."_ I feel like Carl Sagan would approve.

Borman is brutally honest.

I would have to say my favorite Apollo crew. Borman and Anders are absolutely perfect with Lovell as the straight man. Awesome interview. A side only Apollo crew who stayed married to their original wives.

My dad and I helped repair an old '37 Dodge for some guy and it turned out to be Frank Borman. He gave me and my brother a metal coin that they carried with them around the moon.

Apollo 8 was a real badass mission. Three supermen.

The more I listen to Frank Borman the more I fall in love with him. Thank you Apollo 8 you saved much more than 1968!!

I was 9 years old when they flew Apollo 8. What a magical night Christmas Eve 1968. It inspired me to fly planes at 16 and get my pilot license at 17.

Such diverse personalities, but all men of strong character.

i get queazy in my tummy, when i think of the 3 men up there so far away in that capsule, god bless them and all at NASA,, ,,I lived in Houston aand we were so proud of them.

These guys were and are my heroes

Borman is a straight up badass

Love these guys all three of them this mission was 👏🏽 awesome!! So glad I grew up in that era and remember these heroes.

Frank Borman does not hold bac. Well worth watching.

Great Men from an age of wonder. As as a small boy not yet at school - one of my earliest memories on a rainy Christmas Day. Part of 11 or 12 years of exploration's greatest age,.

Wow, Frank Borman really let his feelings out, I agree about Christa McAuliffe. But I also agree that she took the risk and knew something might happen. I'm glad Frank Borman finally called John Glenn out on his flight. Only a fellow astronaut could say what we were all thinking. However, I also agree it was a gutsy thing for John Glenn to actually go on the flight. Thanks for posting.

Men of courage. How few now exist.

I couldn't leave the computer. So interesting!. Thanks for posting!

Borman sure tells it like it is. Funny guy.

Oh what a treat! Thank you for this.

awesome. Thank you

loved every minute of it!

Frank Borman is so grumpy. I like it.

I will never forget the Apollo 8 flight. It was such a huge step to finally land men on the moon. Frank Borman and Jim Lovell joked about their Gemini 7 14 day flight which was three years earlier, but at least they had company,Wally Schirra and Tom Stafford on Gemini 6,the first rendezvous in space. Gemini 6 didn't have a mission when their Agena rocket never reached orbit. They decide to combine it with Gemini 7.As for Apollo 8, I was fascinated by the idea of it,until it came time to go around the other side of the moon.Then I was really nervous knowing there was nothing we could do if something went wrong.I actually was wondering for the first time in my life if we were doing the right thing,going to the moon.Strange what fear can do to someone. Later after emerging from the other side of the moon made it all worth it.That night I was awed by them reading from Genesis, going back to the beginning.

God Bless these American Hero's!

On May 14, 2016, they are going to appear together for "An Evening with Apollo 8," a fundraiser for Bill Anders' Heritage Flight Museum in Burlington, WA. Check it out -- it's an amazing chance to see all three of these living legends in person. Tickets will be going on sale soon.

Hero's God bless them and the great USA from one of millions BRIT fans .

Definitely one of the best if not the best reunions there has been. Funny, informative, honest, with wonderful comradery.

I think this is the crankiest I've seen Borman. But you come to expect it.

these guys are still as sharp as a razor :)

For peace on earth, the world of television need more Jim´s Hartz ´s

Buzz Aldrin y Jim Lovell son mis astronautas favoritos, ¡los mejores!. Son a las personas que te gustaría tener como amigos y...............a tu lado en caso de desastre.

At 30:28 - I can see that young lady going into space one day! She is totally engrossed in the discussion,.

Fabulons men

I love that Anders is the Lunar Module Pilot, when Apollo 8 flew without a Lunar Module!

Christmas Eve 1968 .

Wonderful to hear these brave, warm, hugely skilled men talk about such a fascinating mission. I was nine when they orbited the moon, and I can remember the famous Christmas Eve broadcast. It lit a fire of enthusiasm in me for space exploration that has never gone out. I've just read Jeffery Kluger's book "Apollo 8", and it's wonderful stuff with some intriguing little details I never knew before. Highly recommended, and this video is a wonderful complement to it.

One of the best astronaut interviews ever.

this was awesome. Thank you..

I've had the privilege of sitting inside of an Apollo capsule and when you consider dangers involved with this flight, it's really amazing they had room for the big brass ones these guys must have had. We need more honest-to-God heroes like these gentlemen and I really don't see Generation Snowflake providing the. God, I hope I'm wrong.

Absolutely sad that these three of my favorite Americans didn't get to walk on the moon.

What a great interview and crew :)

amazing interview.

The hero’s of my youth!

Fantastic Odisseia!Congratulations to the Crew!

10:55 Start here.

It was interesting what Borman said about Glenn's flight being political and frivolous. It needs to be pointed out however how unfair it was when Nasa decided to ground him after becoming a National Hero because they thought it would hurt the program if he ever died in future missions.

How good was that, only just seen it !

That was freakin' excellent. :)

That was a truly risky mission. The right stuff. Too bad none of them ever got to walk on the lunar surface. It would have been well deserved for every one of them.

The moderator annoyed me. Also annoyed Frank I think. First he made a comment about how it wasn't a memorable flight which is ridiculous. Then he said how it was hit by lightning which is completely incorrect that was Apollo 12. He kept saying we will get to 13 in a minute which he never did and he interrupted Bill Anders and said a lot of dumb stuff no one was there to hear him speak

“I would ask you to stand..” camera operator completely forgets to let us see those who actually stood...

Bless you Frank Borman.

Launching the shuttle on a frozen Florida morning, was the greatest, stupid moment in NASA's history!

Borman spoke the truth, about Glenn's shuttle flight!

Giants.

Look at Borman's face at 13:06, when the reporter erroneously said that the vehicle weighed 7.5 million pounds at launch! That was the amount of thrust, that it took to launch the vehicle!

Bill Anders should have ran for public office!

when they started talking about the smell they were about to say something but he said I promised not to talk about that, sounds like someone may have crapped their pants

This crew was named 'Man of the Year' in 1968 by TIME Magazine. Today, the same 'publication' (if we choose to dignify them by still calling them that) gives the same title to a 16-year-old 'Climate Activist' who is not old enough to know her rear end from a proverbial hole-in-the-ground. It doesn't bode well.

I only counted two - never went to the moon - nuts here. . Is there a nut shortage?

43:45 😂😂

Von Braun-did the Lunar rocket, and Frank Borman-exact copy of the "Lunar" rocket. Brown's rocket-failed all tests in 1968, but the rocket was launched successfully with Bormann's Cape Canaveral and fall quietly into the Atlantic.

I never knew LBJ Library held comedy theater events.

1:20:25 Once again school teachers prove they have no d--mned clue about how the world works.
