For sure 1968 was a screwed up mess…Tet, assassinations, LBJ vs. RFK, the fiasco at Chicago, cities on fire, Tricky Dick getting elected (barely), and so much other crap going down, but the Apollo 8 mission sorta balanced thing out somewhat. Like Burl Burlingame used to say “If you remember 1968, you weren’t there!”
