> Are relativity effects significant on the moon?

Yes, as the article states, clocks run faster on the Moon. About 56 microseconds per day.

Be that as it may, as far as I know, Newtonian gravity was sufficient for the moon landings. So I'm guessing this is more of a coordination issue between countries than a necessity for trajectories or such.
