Nasa Apollo 8 Csm Flight Config 1/72 Scale Diecast Model by Dragon
Apollo 8 was the first human crewed spacecraft to leave the Earth's orbit. This occurred on December 21, 1968, when a Saturn V rocket launched it into space from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Command Service Module (CSM) with three crewmen aboard reached the far side of the Moon, a destination that took three days of flight time. It was also the first manned spacecraft to return from the Moon, after orbiting the Moon ten times. The enormous success of NASA's Apollo 8 mission paved the way for Apollo 11, where the United States achieved the first manned landing on another world. This 1/72-scale diecast model recreates this historic spacecraft.
