From what I know this is absolutely true (doesn't change anything about the moon landings though), but I'm genuinely interested what project you were working on. As far as I know you're a software developer, so I'm guessing something related to that.
I wrote software for an apparatus to conduct experiments on the Space Shuttle related to combusion. You could control the mixture of gases that were introduced into a chamber (various proportions of them), and various things were set on fire in it, and various means were attempted to extinguish the fires. That apparatus I worked on was (allegedly) on the Columbia mission (that ended up exploding) STS-107. It was called CM-2 (Combusion Model 2). It was written in C/C++ on an RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) called VxWorks. I also wrote the software that controlled the apparatus manually and retrieved, displayed, and analyzed the data (measurements and readings) during the experiment ... which I wrote in C# .NET. I was at Mission Control when the shuttle exploded.
As I mentioned, I worked on the software for one of nearly a couple dozen experiments conducted on the mission, and there were engineers who build the hardware for it, including individuals dedicated to just a small piece of it.
I also wrote software for a couple other things (projects that ended up mothballed due to political changes).
EDIT: I wrote software that controlled this thing here.
