As a private citizen you can “touch” a space rock at Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
As a scientist you can request lunar samples for study and analysis, including outside the U.S. You need a formal research proposal, pass peer review and provide proper lab facilities (clean handling, contamination control etc).
Are you gonna do any of these?

Maybe the former, if I'm ever in the US, the latter sounds like far too much hassle for a cool trophy!
Be precise.
There's a difference between:
"Man" have reached the surface of the moon
A "human" actually set foot on the moon
Some doubt the first.
Some doubt both.
Some doubt neither.
I really don't know. I can verify some things. For others I need to rely on second hand information.
So I give probabilities from my limited point of view having done a good a mount of reading knowing/understanding around 50 pros and cons.
Have man reached the moon 80% yes
Have humans set foot on the moon 80% no
