When I thing about Apollo 8, I do not think about altitude records or the free market.
I was a little kid when I heard the recording of the three astronauts reading the Genesis story from their spacecraft. It inspired me (a) to see the Bible as a noble text worthy of honor and (b) to comprehend the scientific wonder in the Creation that God has made. That is, if the astronauts could read it that way, then so could I. If the universe had that nobility shot through it, then it made my study of science an occasion of joy.
To this day I still feel that way. Good.
