The moon landing was 24 years prior to DS9 coming out. DS9’s premier was 31 years ago. It’s just a casual observation / joke that people reminiscing about actual space exploration when DS9 came out would be looking back less into the past than people reminiscing about a space station TV show today.
well, yeah… yesterday was closer to the moon landing that it was today.
