(Reality check) I realize it would take multiple PODs, but is a TL where the Moon Landing occurs while John F. Kennedy (elected in 1960) is President realistic?

If no assassination and re-election (probably not by as much as LBJ in 1964, but still entirely reasonable) *and* no Apollo I fire, can we get a moon landing by January 19th, 1969? Given Apollo 8's December launch and Apollo 14's Late January launch, I'm not that time of year would prevent possible launch dates right up until the inauguration in 1969.
