Major General Bill Anders flew on Apollo eight in December 1960 on one of the most visionary voyages ever attempted in human history. He, Frank Borman and Jim Lovell were the first people to leave Earth orbit to travel to another celestial body to see the dark side of the moon, to see the entirety of the Earth at once, and to travel on top of a Saturn five rocket. He took the iconic Earth rise photograph. In later life, he served in the Nixon administration to advise on space policy, then ran the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and also served as the US ambassador to Norway.
He went on to enjoy a second stellar career in the private sector at General Electric, Textron and in particular, as CEO of General Dynamics, backed by Warren Buffett, He embarked on a period of transformation with such devotion to shareholder value that it is today the subject of Harvard case studies.
