Apollo 8 is my favorite mission from the Space Race. As others have pointed out, this was one of the riskiest missions of the Apollo Program, and it's also had arguably the second biggest lasting impact (can't surpass 11 there).
Bill Anders iconic image Earthrise reshaped how humanity views ourselves and our duty to the Earth. Early green movements point to this image as an inciting moment, and damn if it isn't still awe inspiring to this day.

In my opinion Earthrise is the most important picture ever taken. It's not a coincidence that the environmental movement gained steam after it was published.
Cheers
