The U.S. was competing with Russia at the time Neil Armstrong had landed on the moon. They were having a contest to see who could get someone on to the moon first, and it happened to be the one of the most technology advanced countries today. When Armstrong landed on the moon, it had meant everything to the U.S. and it still means everything to not only them, but society also, today! It showed that the US was clearly ahead in the Space Race, the race to explore space. This also included the US claiming the moon as it's own territory. It was just one of the ways the West and the East block were competing in the cold war as opposed to bombing each other.

The U.S.A put 12 men on the moon so far. The US sent men to the moon in order to beat the Russians in the "Space Race", that was started when the Russians put the first satellite into orbit.

Landing on the moon is a pretty good accomplishment and getting back in one piece. Rocks were also brought back for research.
