Apollo 8 Astronauts Eat Real Turkey On Christmas Day
Apollo 8 astronauts will be up to 200000 miles from Earth on Christmas Day and dine on real turkey prepared by the U S Army Natick Laboratories packed in airtight foil. The meal includes cranberry apple sauce coffee and a grape drink and is tied with a red ribbon for festivity. Sleeping has been uneven with Lovell first to sleep through the first cycle while Anders later requested a pill. Window haze persists on the cone craft leaving two side windows hazy and the center window nearly opaque but officials say maneuvers should not be affected.
