On my lunar orbital chart of Apollo 8, it lists a launch date of Dec. 26 when it actually launched on Dec 21. It was prepared Dec. 4, so I am curious about the discrepancy, particularly so close to launch. Any ideas?

There might be different ones for different launch dates.

There were launch windows for Apollo 8 each day from Dec. 21 to Dec. 27. I have seen photos of other ALO charts dated Dec. 21 and Dec. 24.

Would this be less valuable than the actual launch date charts? I assume it would be.

Well it appears according to eBay this particular chart is worth about $294. That's sort of shocking to me.

All times are CT (US)
