White's next assignment after Gemini 4 was as the back-up for Gemini 7 Command Pilot Frank Borman.

In the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon, Borman was played by David Andrews.

Borman was born in Gary, Indiana, where the Frank Borman Expressway is named after him.

Later, Borman was selected for the Aerospace Research Pilot School and became a test pilot.

Borman was selected by NASA for the second NASA astronaut group in 1962, and was chosen as the Command Pilot for Gemini 7.

Borman was selected in late 1966 to command the third manned Apollo mission, planned as an elliptical medium Earth orbit test of the second manned Lunar Module ( LM ) on the first manned launch of the Saturn V lunar rocket sometime in 1967 or early 1968.

In April 1967, while serving on the board, Borman was one of five astronauts who testified before a United States Senate committee investigating the Apollo 1 fire.

Borman was then reassigned to his LM test mission, now planned to fly as " Apollo 9 " in early 1969 after a first, low Earth orbit LM flight commanded by McDivitt in December 1968.

The Command Module Pilot and navigator, Michael Collins, had to have back surgery and was replaced by his backup, James Lovell, reuniting Borman with his Gemini 7 crewmate.

The famous " Wings of Man " campaign in the late 1960s was created by advertising agency Young & Rubicam, and restored Eastern's tarnished image until the late 1970s, when former astronaut Frank Borman became president and it was replaced by a new campaign, " We Have To Earn Our Wings Every Day ".

The new campaign, which featured Borman as a spokesperson, was used until the mid-to-late 1980s.

Shortly after Gemini 10, Collins was assigned to the backup crew for the second manned Apollo flight, with commander Frank Borman, command module pilot ( CMP ) Thomas Stafford and Collins as lunar module pilot ( LMP ).

In the process of crews being reassigned, Collins was moved to the CMP position, since his new crew was Borman, Collins and William Anders.

On December 24, 1968, in what was the most watched television broadcast to that date, the astronauts Bill Anders, Jim Lovell and Frank Borman of Apollo 8 surprised the world with a reading of the Creation from the Book of Genesis as they orbited the moon.

They spent fifteen minutes formation flying with the stage, but Borman felt they were using too much fuel and the rocket stage was acting erratically as it vented its own fuel.

Borman and Lovell had planned to both take them off two days into the mission when they were satisfied that the environmental system was working properly.

Borman was wearing his suit and was sweating profusely, but agreed to let Lovell stay out his suit as Lovell was the larger of the two and it required a lot of effort to get in and out of a suit in little more space than the front seat of a car.

It was ailing financially, and Borman negotiated concessions from its employees, but he also ordered expensive new airplanes.

Only three other Gemini astronauts, from this group, were chosen to command their first flights: Frank Borman ( Gemini 7 ), Neil Armstrong ( Gemini 8 ), and Elliot See.

Frank Frederick Borman, II ( born March 14, 1928 ) is a retired NASA astronaut, best remembered as the Commander of Apollo 8, the first mission to fly around the Moon, making him, along with fellow crew mates Jim Lovell and Bill Anders, the first of only 24 humans to do so.

He is, along with Apollo 8 crewmates Frank Borman and Jim Lovell, one of the first three persons to have left Earth orbit and traveled to the Moon ( of only 24 people to date ).

Space journalist Andrew Chaikin claims that, following the death of Gus Grissom, Borman became astronaut chief Deke Slayton's choice to command the first Moon landing attempt.

This culminated in the Apollo Moon landings, which astronaut Frank Borman later described as " just a battle in the Cold War.

Initial members serving on the NSI board of directors and governors were a veritable " Who's Who " list that included comedian and entertainer Bob Hope, singer / songwriter John Denver, oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, " Original 7 " Project Mercury astronaut and Senator John H. Glenn, Jr., Apollo 8 astronaut Frank Borman, Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, Dr. Michael DeBakey, " Star Trek " creator Gene Roddenberry and actress Nichelle Nichols.

She played Susan Borman, wife of astronaut Frank Borman, in the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon.

This presented a dilemma and also sparked a debate that reached as far as outer space when Frank Borman, an astronaut aboard Gemini 7, talked back to earth with the message, " tell Nobis to sign with Houston.

The Frank Borman Expressway is an east – west highway in the northwest part of the U. S. state of Indiana, named after astronaut and former Eastern Airlines CEO Frank Borman.

In 1998 he played another astronaut, Frank Borman, in the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon.

After driving the route in a Land Rover and establishing food depots along the way, he set out from Halls Creek on 12 July 1976 with three other bushwalkers, Ralph Barraclough, Kathy Borman and Rex Shaw.

However, the first significant cases were in early Apollo flights ; Frank Borman on Apollo 8 and Rusty Schweickart on Apollo 9.

On November 13, 2008, Anders and fellow Apollo 8 crew members Frank Borman and Jim Lovell appeared on the NASA TV channel to discuss the Apollo 8 mission.

He successfully applied and reported on August 29 1960, becoming a member of Class 60-C ( which included future astronauts Frank Borman and Jim Irwin ).

Indiana State Road 912, the Cline Avenue Expressway, connects East Chicago with the Indiana Toll Road and Borman Expressway, and serves the casino and steel mills on the lakefront.

Before the Borman Expressway was completed, US 6 was on Ridge Road, portions of which are now signed Business US 6.

Henry Kissinger, Frank Borman, and Li Choh-ming visited for the University of Pittsburgh commencement on April 27, 1969.

Indiana later proposed to extend Interstate 294 east on the current Borman Expressway to Indiana State Route 912, before having it turn north at that point, west at U. S. Highway 12, and then back to I-94, most likely somewhere on the Bishop Ford Expressway near 130th Street.

In 2006, reconstruction to widen the Southern portion of the tollway, where I-80 and I-294 are multiplexed, was completed in conjunction with simultaneous projects on the Borman and Kingery Expressways, expanding this portion of the tollway from 6 to 8 lanes.

Borman is a lunar impact crater that is located in the southern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Borman.
