That episode could not have been written after an Apollo landing.
Recall, the last season was the 1968-69 season.  The first lunar
landing was on 19/20 July, 1969, AFTER the last season ended.

It was written before the landing, yes.  But it was in the second 
season, I think, which was 67-68.  With the way the Apollo program
was going, it wouldn't take a really bright individual to figure out 
that the moon landing was going to come before the end of the
century, like Kennedy said he wanted.

Oops.  Good catch.  Sorry.
