Apollo 8 was the real defining mission, taking man to the Moon and back. Way too much focus is on Apollo 11 & 13.

b.t.w., I was 8 when Apollo 8 took place, and remember it well. Going out in the snow and looking up at the crescent Moon, and wishing I was there or at least could see them. Squinting my eyes, and saying I think I can see them. Yes, even at that age I knew that was a fantasy, but a nice one to have. Then we go inside (probably the other way around, don't remember for sure) and watch the Christmas Eve message from the Moon.
