Apollo+40: Go for Lunar Orbit

At 68:04:00 MET, Mission Control has just notified Apollo 8 that they are GO for their Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) burn, to take place behind the Moon and out of touch with Mission Control in a little more than one hour.

Less than an hour now until Apollo 8 passes behind the Moon, and out of communication.
