Of course it didn't. We know the moon is made of green cheese, yet they brought home rocks. Obviously staged. The problem is the state of the Hollywood art could not come close to reproducing it and thus it had to be filmed on location. Even now it would take a lot of motion capture shot in the vomit comet with a lot of computer work smoothing the mess out into something that looked real. (Just look at how fake no-gravity scenes are in movies even today.)
