Conspiracy theory: Luna-15 was a manned mission not a probe.
The missions goals and specifications were only released after the mission failed, giving the Soviets the ability to cover up the death of the cosmonaut.
Even if the craft had gotten to the moon behind apollo 11 it may have been able to return first, making the russians the first to get a man there and back.
