It took ten years (at least, within the U.S. and counting everything between Project Mercury and the Apollo program) to put a man on the moon. I suspect that the threat of alien invasion would rank at least as highly as space exploration within the research community.

And, considering the huge variety of mutations within the X-Men verse, the lack of telekinesis isn't an evidence of a lack of mutants, X-Men style or otherwise.

Loki has to walk the roads between world like everyone else in the first Thor movie. He says as much when he's talking about the hidden pathways between worlds. He may look like he teleports from place to place but Thor would know that he can't and doesn't actually teleport anywhere. If Thor knows it, there's no reason he'd keep Loki having X amount of unavoidable travel time from the rest of the Avengers since, as has been pointed out repeatedly, they're in the middle of trying to thwart his brother's alien invasion.

So nope, it's not unreasonable to assume that he can't pop himself into Manhattan.

The moon isn't dodging our rockets, or trying to attack us, and it behaves according to principles we understand and can predict quite well. That's not exactly the same as trying to subdue radioactive rage-monsters or alien gods. And if your conclusion is, "the heroes of the movie were wrong because the military should have had capabilities beyond what they are canonically described as having," I don't see how effectively this conversation is going to proceed because you're rejecting the clearly-established parameters of the setting.
