actually dlux, the statement was made prior to apollo 11.
he was speaking from his experiences as a Gemini astronaut, having conducted the first ever deep space orbital rendezvous, and as back up commander for apollo 8, the first manned return trip to the moon.
there were in fact 6 manned landings on the moon subsequent to that quote, taken from life magazine
so i guess you can call it propaganda...if you believe the lunar landings were a hoax.
