It was on this date in 1968 that the first live broadcast from space occurred. It was Apollo 7, and the words said were: “Hello from the lovely Apollo room, high atop everything!” Evidently, they were not truly ready for a television broadcast due to an astronaut head cold, but it went off as expected. This was truly training ground for later voyages when they would go to the moon.
