I'd say yes, Apollo was created in 1958 and started in 1960 under Eishower, and that it actually looked like it might fail in 1961 when Kennedy got into power because he wasn't interested in the space program. Had it not been for the failure at the Bay of Pigs and Kennedy needing something to regain national pride, it's likely that Apollo would have been a footnote in history, rather than Man's greatest step. Had Nixon gained power, the likelihood is that he would have maintained all of Eishower's programs, including Apollo.
