As we return to the Moon, we remember Apollo 8 astronauts; Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders who were the first humans to see the Moon in human history.

I just saw the news of Bill Anders' death and I'm in complete shock. He was killed in a plane crash off the San Juan Islands in Washington State on June 7, 2024 at the age of 90. As cliche as it sounds, he died doing what he loved.

Bill was a NASA astronaut aboard Apollo 8 in 1968 and took "Earthrise," one of the most famous photos in human history. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Valerie, their six children, and the rest of the family. May his memory be a blessing.
