That broadcast generated a bit of controversy as well. NASA was sued by Madalyn Murray O'Hare, an athiest, for mixing religion on what was essentially a govt. Run operation. Nothing came of it, except an increased paranoia within NASA about what was said over the air.
BTW, the voices were in order: CDR Frank Borman, CMP Jim Lovell and LMP Bill Anders.
73 and a Merry Christmas to all!
