I am not aware of a Gemini Spacecraft that went to the moon. The Apollo missions in the late 60's and the 70's went to the moon. Apollo 11 was the first manned flight that took men to the surface of the moon. Neil Armstrong was the first man to step on the moon. Part of the reasoning for the moon missions was to learn more about the universe and its origin. There was also a dimension of technical competition between the US and the Soviet Union, to prove technological superiority during the "cold war." Many products that we enjoy every day are a result of technological advances from the research and development done by NASA for the moon missions.
