This popped into my YT feed a little while ago. It's from 1955 and in part describes a very futuristic manned mission around the moon, a mere 13 years before Apollo 8 did just that, yet the two missions couldn't be more different in concept.
The following day, I learned that Artemis II could repeat that mission as early as February next year (2026), although unlike Apollo 8 and like the fictional mission, it will go around the moon rather than orbit it.
