Simply amazing. This is the total opposite of what happens when you put poor/stupid people together, which is what we are used to seeing on this site.

Very good stuff. I remember watching a simulation a couple of years ago about this mission and thinking, "that looks almost too complicated to work". Seeing it with my own eyes come off like clockwork is an amazing thing. (I have to say it) JUST FUCKING AWESOME!!! ;)

Picture quality has changed since Apollo 8, but 44 years later I still get a tingle down my spine.
