Before reading the actual photo caption:

Keeping in mind... this is Humankind's FIRST MANNED journey to the MOON, leaving the cradle, slipping earth’s surly bonds, etc., etc...bold, daring and historic.

And this, THIS is the 'official' caption? Any ‘Weekly Reader’ article of the time was more thoughtfully & articulately written...ANY:

 

"A duck appears to be watching the launch of Apollo 8 astronauts Borman, Lovell and Anders to the Moon December 21, 1968."

 

Duh.
