Assuming Kennedy doesn't set a manned lunar landing as a goal, would a human ever step on the moon?

IIRC Kennedy himself was reluctant about setting the goal, and plenty of other politicians criticized it as wasteful. Polls showed a majority of Americans didn't think Apollo was worth the money. There were even protest gatherings at Cape Canaveral to protest launches.

Given how much opposition there was to OTL Apollo, would a manned lunar landing ever occur? And if so, when?
