Apollo 8 Reentry Surges Then Lands Safely in Pacific
Apollo 8 blasted through the outer atmosphere at 24 630 mph after a record fast return from lunar orbit. Heat shield blistered above 5000 degrees Fahrenheit while cabin stayed at 70 degrees. After jettisoning the service module the craft skipped along the atmosphere, then plunged to 210 000 feet before final splashdown. Disruptive radio contact lasted three minutes at peak heat before radar and chutes stabilized the descent, touching down in the Pacific and signaling the crew with live contact from a helicopter.
