Dina may have confused Armageddon (with Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck) with Space Cowboys (2000, with Clint Eastwood and Tommy Lee Jones).

I thought Space Cowboys was about a mission to a satellite - and only peripherally about the moon (because TLJ's character died and they sent his body to the moon).

Yes, the satellite had nukes on it and the satellite was in danger of failing to earth. The design was Clint's and somehow the Russians got them but built it wrong. I think the only way to save the earth was to blast them to the moon but it needed a pilot to guide the satellite. It was convenient that TLJ had incurable cancer. The final song was Fly Me to the Moon.
