Since today is April Fools day is it ok to say that the 1969 moon 'landing' was a psyop?

“ including a mission which resembles (kindof) Artemis 2”
My point, Apollo’s first moon mission was to prove out the ability to get to the moon, orbit the moon as if the lander had been deployed, and return to the earth. Orion is only doing a fast fly by, looping the moon and only spending a few hours hours at that, and what looks like a gravity “sling shot” to return to earth. Only 1 of 3 maneuvers. Seems lame to me compared to 60’s tech, if it wasn’t all faked. I still cling to the belief that what I saw back then was real, I was in high school at the time, but it’s tough when we can’t do better 50+ years later.
I agree 100%. Orion/SLS is very much lacking in capability in its current iteration when compared to Apollo and we don't even have a lander yet.
