There are some people, including Srila Prabhupada, who think that the moon landing was a hoax. FWIW, Prabhupada thought that the Moon was further away than the Sun. He also thought that there are spiritual beings and water on the Moon. As such, in vedic literature, the Moon is the significator of soma and abundance here on Earth. Hmmm. I should have asked Radanath Swami about that. Maharishi once mentioned something about the Pitṛs (spirits of departed ancestors), living on the moon. I asked some skeptical question, mentioning how inhospitable the moon is, and he looked at me like I was an idiot (just throwing ya’ a line, Nabby). I guess he was referring to subtle beings. But why would they want to live there? Maybe on the subtle level, the moon is a great place to live. All the green cheese you can eat and stuff.
