Why would they still need to be traveling at escape velocity whilst "hurtling towards the moon"? At this point, they have long since left earth orbit, transposition and Docking of the CSM to LM has taken place and most if the Saturn V rocket has been left behind.
A spacecraft only needs to reach escape velocity during launch.
Well,I don't know whether there's an error here, but it's possible to leave orbit without achieving the quoted "surface escape velocity" which is the speed required to leave a planet IF no further kinetic energy will then be provided to that vehicle. This is of course not the case in practise since the vehicle has a propulsion system to keep it going...
Also,in this case the spaceship is already in the space, I think the escape velocity is not relevant anymore.

The Apollo moon missions were faked in a studio. Here's a link to some of the evidence.

UdallIn72, you are wrong, not the documentary.

60 km/minute, by my calculations, is only 3600 km/hour... Which is well below escape velocity.
So, uh, is that a factual error in the show, or am I wrong?
