Apollo 8 Crewneck Sweatshirts

Apollo 7 was a human spaceflight mission carried out by USA in October 1968 during the time of the space race. It was the first mission in the Apollo program to carry a crew into space and orbit earth. Even though it didn't actually fly to the moon, it was the important predecessor and led the way for Apollo 8, the first manned moon orbit space flight.

Apollo 8 was the first mission to orbit the moon, making Borman, Anders and Lovell the first humans to see the far side of the moon.
