Helping the Soviets to win the race to the moon

Because of an error in the interpretation of the Mayan calendar I just discovered, I know now that Earth will be destroyed on March 13, 2021 at 11 o'clock in the morning, time zone of Palenque.

I could rent a small time machine and will travel to the past to save the human species by achieving a self sustainable, inhabited by approximately 1000 settlers colony to be on Mars by 2020.

My plan is helping the Soviets to win the space race to the Moon. If this happens, USA will put all their effort into conquering Mars. I estimate that if Russians land on the Moon by 1970 the Americans can land on Mars by 1985 and establish a permanent occupation since 2005.

My time machine is very small and very expensive. I need to know the simplest change possible (espionage, sabotage, bribery with lottery, rifle shots) capable of achieving this change in history.
