Nearly three days after launch, the braking engines fired and the Apollo 8 capsule went into orbit around the moon.───发射后差不多三天时间，制动火箭启动了，阿波罗8号飞船进入了月球轨道。

Wakker traces his interest in astronomy to the Apollo 8 moonflight.───他毕业于荷兰葛罗宁根大学,博士论文即是研究高速云.

As August came round the idea for a daring re-design of Apollo 8 started to dawn.

Apollo 8 was scheduled to be the first Earth-orbital test of the lunar module.

As the Apollo 8 command module rounded the farside of the Moon, the crew could look toward the lunar horizon and see the Earth appear to rise, due to their spacecraft's orbital motion.

But on Christmas Eve, Americans turned on their TVs to see perhaps the first good news all year: Apollo 8 astronauts reading from the Book of Genesis as they became the first humans to orbit the moon.
