The moon landing was 1969, less than four years before Picasso would die at the age of 91.

I'm absolutely not surprised that he didn't care, I don't think the actual consequences / effects of the moon landing would have been readily available for Picasso to grasp (or many other people at the time).

Plus, at that age, nobody gives a fuck about anything anyway.

I asked my 101-year-old grandma what her favourite part about the last 100 years was, and she said "my cats". Iconic.

Yeah. At the time, the moon landing was about a dick measuring contest with Russia. I imagine Picasso saw it as just that.
