Forgotten Events In History That Should Be Made Into Movies

Apollo 8

Apollo 8. Basically, the mission was originally only supposed to be a test of the lunar module in earth orbit, but rumors were circulating that the Soviet Union was going to attempt to send a man into lunar orbit (spoiler: this was not happening). As a result, Apollo 8 was switched to being the first mission to the moon, not to land but to orbit.

And this decision was made only six months before the scheduled launch date, so it was a race to get everything ready before the flight. It’s a historical mission that is almost never talked about, compared with Apollo 11, which is much more well known.
