Trivia: Which airline first created a wait list for moon travel in the 1960s?
Pan Am
Delta
Jet Blue
American Airlines
The correct answer is Pan Am
So why is this answer correct? : On Christmas Eve of 1968, the Apollo 8 astronauts famously read passages of the Bible from space, which was beamed to rapt audiences on Earth. The powerful moment prompted Juan Trippe, head of Pan American World Airways, to phone ABC-TV with some groundbreaking news of his own: His airline had been compiling a list of people interested in moon travel. By the time of the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, there were 25,000 names on the Pan Am list, and other airlines and holiday magazines seriously began considering lunar travel.
