1968: On 22 December 1968, the first television broadcast from a manned spacecraft in outer space was transmitted from Apollo 8.

Earth, over 200 000 kilometres away, appeared as a blurred ball of light.

A total of six live television transmission sessions were done by the crew during the mission, including the famous Christmas Eve broadcast in which the astronauts read from the book of Genesis.
