Yes it was. And the movie was released before we actually landed on the moon. Don’t know if you were around at the time, but the speed at which we made progress in manned space missions made the movie seem like a logical progression.
I’ll tell you this, no one from ‘68 would have been able to imagine that nearly a half century (and perhaps much longer) would pass with no human presence on the moon.
