Like Waldy before me, I believe this is how the moon was made.
‘We thought the moon was a satellite captured by the Earth’s gravitation, but scientists have recently discovered that, soon after the Earth
was formed, another planet-like body, Theia, smashed into it and the rock debris formed the moon.
‘Once we had a moon, that began to stabilise the Earth. Before this, we had mile-high tides and, after the collision, the moon was ten times nearer
than it is now. As it pulled away, we slowed down from having six-hour days to 24-hour ones.’

The giant impact hypothesis (sometimes referred to as the big whack, or, less frequently, the big splash) is the now-dominant scientific
hypothesis for the formation of the Moon, which is thought to have formed as a result of a collision between the young Earth and a Mars-sized body
that is sometimes called Theia...

I believe that the astronauts were not alone when they set foot on the moon. Then they or the administration was told that the moon and deep space
missions were off limits to warring nations at that point. That is why the remaining Apollo missions were cancelled
There were several more missions to the Moon before program cancellation.
