Have we already established that the missions were called "Apollo" in the IST world? Apollo was the god of the sun, after all - Selene, Artemis, or Hecate would have been more appropriate names. (I believe Hecate was the name used by David Pulver for the Technomancer manned Moon missions.) And there's bound to have been some research theologians in the IST world who would have warned NASA about getting the symbolism right... but did the engineers listen to them?

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
