My honest opinion on this would probably be NO. If humans had landed long back with those technologies then we would have a colony by now on Moon. World wanted to see who won the space race and US grabbed that opportunity by creating this.
Why we need a colony on moon when there are no oxygen and planting trees might be undiscovered to the unsources land? There are few things that need to be process by which you can't prove without any evidence by landing on the moon. But for now we have an advance technology, do you believe that there are no people who land on the moon already?
