Fifty years ago on Oct. 22, 1968, Apollo 7, the first crewed Apollo mission, splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean, southeast of Bermuda. All mission objectives were accomplished, and with a duration of nearly 11 days, the flight proved the ability of the spacecraft and crew to complete an 8-day lunar landing mission.
