None. The space shuttle is not capable of going to the moon. The only manned spacecraft to go to the moon were the lunar landers of the Apollo missions, which took place before the first space shuttle was built.

How many times did nasa make a space shuttle before the first moon landing?
None. The space shuttle came after the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo projects (Apollo got us to the moon.) The space shuttle was intended to be a freighter of sorts - ferrying materials, satellites and people from Earth's surface to low earth orbit (LEO) and possibly to one or more space stations in geosynchronous orbit. The shuttle was never intended for long distance flights to the moon or further**. They are to be retired next year (2010.) The first space shuttle launch was in 1981, 12 years after the first moon landing in 1969 and 9 years after the last manned trip to the moon. {If you use the official term for a moon landing, both manned and unmanned, then the Soviet Union landed an unmanned vehicle on the moon in 1966, 15 years before the first space shuttle launch.) ** Half of the shuttle (the black underbelly) is landing/shield tiles that burn off as it lands: if you were making a ship for space (and not our atmosphere) you wouldn't need these tiles, you'd need shielding but not the tiles.
How will astronauts get to the moon after the space shuttle retires in 2011?

What did landing on the moon have to do with the cold war?
In 1960 the "space race" began between the US and Soviets. Both worked to get to the moon first and in 1969 the US landed on the moon. The Soviets never have landed. The space race was just another outcome of the Cold War. The ability to launch a rocket has military advantages whether it has a payload for space or for military uses.
