Corrected entry: After the Ark crashes into the moon, the NASA bureaucrat who receives the news in his office is sitting in front of models of several rockets that would not yet have been designed in 1961, most notably the Saturn V (the big one on the far right), development of which didn't even start until 1962.

Corrected entry: The American flag at the Apollo 11 landing site is shown as upright when the Autobots arrive. In actuality the flag fell over when Apollo 11 took off from the moon, according to Buzz Aldrin's autobiography.
Correction: We don't see a flag on a pole, only the one painted on the side of the lunar module.

Corrected entry: During the Apollo 11 moonwalk, footage is shown of Walter Cronkite reporting a loss of signal from Apollo 11, saying it is on the dark side of the moon. Since the same side of the moon always faces Earth, the moon would not rotate so that the Apollo 11 craft would be on the dark side. A loss of signal such as the one Cronkite reported would occur when the craft is in lunar orbit and passes around the dark side, which takes about a half-hour.
Correction: Many things, including rockets, are designed years (maybe decades) before they are developed. Not surprising that a NASA staff member had models of rockets well before they were developed.
