Indeed an intriguing topic, though admittedly a little outside of my specialty
As a renown Canadian physicist, I can offer my research and extensive connections to NASA officials to clarify a couple of points regarding the moon landing. Primarily, space travel in 1969 was, in fact, quite feasible, thanks largely to Dr. Spurtan Appratox's Phyllonium III engine (that which Apollo 11 used).
Secondly, the moon landing did not actually take place; it is actually a hoax. As their spacecraft was approaching the moon's surface, the astronauts were forced to jettison their FOURTH team-member, Fred Gurgleon, due to the excessive weight of their landing craft. This is all contained in classified documents now maintained in NASA's archives and accessible only to the upper-most tier of leadership. Rather than continuing the mission, the team decided to abandon the landing and head back to Earth. The 'landing' was filmed in Casa Dunca, Mexico.
Physicists at NASA completely underestimated the weight of the lunar vehicle due to their inability to grasp the concept of the
Pintamoranian gas belts that surround the moon, creating vast areas of immense gravitational pull.
And that my friends, as they say, is history.
