It might as well have been. Either real or hoax, nothing came of
it. Just more circus for the nitwits, and nerd welfare of course.
It was real enough, but expensive, dangerous, and useless. Like
the ISS.
"Exploring space" is an oxymoron.
You would not even have had this forum to state that stupid shit
in, much less the device on which to do it.
Manned spaceflight did not contribute to usenet. I can't think of
anything useful that manned spaceflight has provided us. It cost a
fortune and killed some good people. The moon rocks could have been
gathered by a robot, and weren't very interesting anyhow. A lot of
moon rocks have been lost.
We could have funded some serious science for the cost of each shuttle
flight.

Sure, astronauts repaired Hubble. But we could have launched scores
Hubbles and built scores of world-class radio telescopes for the cost
of the ISS, and killed no-one in the process.

Space flight, like high-energy physics, is primarily a cultural
activity. (Space flight also has a strong military dimension.)

If the Shuttle design weren't at least partially dictated by DOD
requirements it wouldn't have had those big delta wings for crossrange.
A pure scientific vehicle doesn't really need 1000km of crossrange.

But manned space flight? The Pentagon hasn't been very interested in
that.
Comm satellites are OK, but fibers move a lot more data. Weather
satellites and GPS and Google Earth type things are useful. The moon
landings, and the ISS were, as you say, political/emotional
endeavours.
Today's New York Times has a special 32-page section about manned
landings on the moon, past and future. I still see no reason for
either.

In order to fake it, you at least need an (unmanned) transponder on
lunar orbit and the surface of the Moon to get the continuously changing
dopplers right.
Those that claims it was a hoax assumes that the only signal source was
through NASA, while there were other independent receivers.
During WW II, War Dept let over a $1M (that they admit to) contract GE
to reverse engineer the simplified V1. They couldn't get to square one,
had no idea how it could even fly.
