Slowly they pass

 

I was old enough, though still young, to remember when Apollo 8 went into orbit around the Moon, just before Christmas in 1968.  

Now one of the three crew members, Frank Borman, has passed away. Remarkably, both James Lovell (95 years old) and William Anders (90 years old) are still alive.

Frank Borman dead: Astronaut who commanded Apollo 8 has passed away at age 95 - decades after leading first manned mission to orbit the moon and return safely to Earth
