That's a bit of a stretch. Landing on the moon is incredible and a huge congrats to everyone involved, but nobody "dared not try" to land on one side over the other. There just wasn't any particular need to do it.

NASA was busy "daring" to land on Mars. The ESA "dared" to land on Titan. And Russia, well, they're keeping the ISS alive right now so I won't criticize their achievements.
