Smithsonian, NASA reflect on 'Spirit of Apollo' at National Cathedral [i]Standing beneath a stained glass window embedded with a piece of the moon, Jim Lovell recalled his journey into lunar orbit 50 years ago. "In this cathedral, my world exists within these walls," said Lovell. "But seeing the Earth at 240,000 miles, my world suddenly expanded to infinity." The Apollo 8 astronaut, who in December 1968 launched on the first mission to fly humans to the moon, spoke at Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday evening (Dec. 11), reflecting on his flight's 50th anniversary at a public event billed by the Smithsonian as "The Spirit of Apollo."[/i]
