History

The first live TV broadcast from an American spacecraft was performed by the Apollo 7 crew #OnThisDay in 1968.

"It began with a view of a card reading "From the Lovely Apollo Room high atop everything", [a reference to 1930s radio broadcasts] [...]

During the seven-minute broadcast, the crew showed off the spacecraft and gave the audience views of the southern United States."
