Short answers, pulled from the story.
Frank Borman commanded Apollo 8, the first mission to fly humans around the Moon, in December 1968. He flew alongside crewmates Jim Lovell and William Anders, and together they became the first of 28 humans to orbit the Moon. Borman was awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor for commanding the mission.
Borman turned down command of the first lunar landing mission in the fall of 1968 because he had already decided, before Apollo 8 launched, that it would be his last flight. He later said his reason for joining NASA was to beat the Soviets to the Moon, not to achieve individual milestones, and that after Apollo 11 the mission was accomplished.
The Earthrise photograph was taken by Bill Anders during Apollo 8 and shows the Earth rising above the lunar horizon as the command module orbited the Moon. It was released for worldwide broadcast and became one of the most reproduced images in history. Time magazine named the Apollo 8 crew its Men of the Year for 1968 partly in recognition of the mission's impact.
Borman joined Eastern Air Lines on the 1st of July 1970 as a special operations executive after retiring from NASA and the Air Force. He was elected president and chief operating officer in May 1975, became chief executive officer in December 1975, and chairman of the board in December 1976. He led the airline through its four most profitable years before resigning in June 1986 amid union conflicts following deregulation.
Borman graduated eighth in the West Point Class of 1950 from a class of 670, then served as a fighter pilot in the Philippines. He earned a Master of Science degree in aeronautical engineering at Caltech in 1957 and became an assistant professor at West Point. He qualified as a test pilot at Edwards Air Force Base in 1960 and was selected as a NASA astronaut with the Next Nine group in 1962.
Frank Borman died from a stroke at the Billings Clinic on the 7th of November 2023, at the age of 95. He was interred at West Point Cemetery.
