Frank Borman, the astronaut who commanded Apollo 8’s historic Christmas 1968 flight that circled the moon 10 times and paved the way for the lunar landing the following year, has died aged 95.
Borman died on Tuesday in Billings, Montana, according to Nasa. He also led the troubled Eastern Airlines in the 1970s and early 80s after leaving the astronaut corps.
