The problem isn't so much the answers, but how they are framed. In the case of Neil Armstrong, the failure is to state that the answer is for a Moon landing. That would allow the person making the query to realize that the answer was not what they were looking for. In this case it is because Armstrong never landed on Mars. In other cases it may be because the question or data were incorrect. The current Tom Hanks answer is closer to what should have been done in this regard since it refers to the film directly, though it remains problematic in that it highlights the year to such a degree that the person making the query may ignore the context. (It is also problematic because the film is about a mission that didn't land on the Moon, which could only be determined through further research. Granted, that is more along the lines of your slowest animal example.)
