Here is a film clip of the Apollo 17 crew walkout for the CDDT. There is a brief overhead shot of the crew leaving the transfer van at the pad. You also see Ron Evans sitting down in the elevator at the 320-foot level waiting for his turn to enter the White Room. |

When was this Apollo 8 crew walkout photo taken? The caption has a date of 1968-12-21, but that can't be right. Also, it can't be the October 23 walkout, because the crew was not wearing the Apollo 8 patch in those photos.  |

The CDDT was on December 11. That might be it. |

Launch day was 12-21-68 and their patches are on their PGAs, so it all makes sense that this is in fact launch day transfer. Is there something else that's not lining up? |

Launch day walkout for Apollo 8 was at night. |

Has anyone ever seen a color image, or footage of the Apollo 7 crew walkout taken on launch day? There are plenty of examples from the CDDT, but I am looking for something from launch day.Editor's note: Threads merged. |
