The Apollo program, led by NASA, was responsible for sending astronauts to the moon. The first successful manned mission to the moon was Apollo 11 in 1969, during which astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the lunar surface. The mission was a significant milestone in space exploration and the culmination of years of effort and innovation.
