Back on December 24, 1968 the crew of the Apollo 8 space mission were to make history for two things. They were the first human beings to circle another celestial body in space and they were also to take one of the most iconic pictures of the Earth rising behind the Moon on Christmas Eve which can be seen here on the post Alex had put up: The First Earthrise. Here you’ll hear them wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Peace to everyone.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and any other holidays out there! Have a Happy New Year! :D

The Peace Sign, one of the most widely known symbols in the world, was first designed and drawn on home-made banners and badges in London, England on February 21, 1958, when CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament ) was launched at a public meeting but has since been apropriated by scores of different protest movements, from hippies in 1960s America and to the rest of the world, it is known more broadly as the peace symbol.
