Does your creek have hundreds of precision-demanding actions that have to be performed perfectly or you die?

Not sure how precise the actions have to be getting to the creek. Am sure that the government tracks and records pretty much everything, especially when doing something that has NEVER been done before. 50+ years ago, those records would have been in hard copy and should still exist. The moon is doing pretty much the same thing it was doing back then and the math is the same.

Do you have to shut yourself in a small closet with two other people for a week?
Can't say that I do, but also not sure how that is relevent. There was 4 on the trip, right?

Can't say it does. Flying demands that thousands of people do their job correctly and we seem to be able to do that several thousand times a day.
