I'm pretty sure that this Capricorn One-ish story was a trunk novel which has been pulled out and updated, since one character asks another if they'd come and wait with them in the airport at the gate for their flight -- something no one has been able to do for nearly 20 years now -- and at another point asks for a pay phone.
Other than that, the updating seems to have been fairly well done, with the exception of having a very simplistic view of what's involved in astronaut training, which renders events in the plot nigh unbelievable, and the use of a vehicle to land on and take off from the Moon which does not have that technical capability.
With -- literally -- a Gary Stu character who is improbably competent, an FBI team which is improbably incompetent, and a "deeply-felt" romance which is utterly unbelievable, this quick read would make a great beach or airport or self-isolation novel, but is likely to leave a reader who is seeking seriously-good SF very disappointed.
