They never got around the Van Allen belts. It was too difficult to do it by 1969 but the public had been hyped up so much and our cold war rep was on the line so NASA had to fake it to make it.

There exists a video of the press conference after the first manned moon landing. The astronauts look PISSED OFF and depressed. I think they THOUGHT they were going to the moon, then were sequestered for a few days, then told to suck it up and pretend it happened. Watch the video.

edit: 3 downvotes? Why? Have you WATCHED the footage?
