Why did you sent a manned mission first before an unmanned mission to the moon?
This question is wrong historically. Many space vehicles were sent without men before any manned vehicles were sent to the Moon. Lunik 1, 2, and 3 from USSR orbited the Moon. Many more Luna craft were launched. USA sent the Ranger vehicles and the Surveyor landers, as well as several Lunar Orbiters. It only seems to one today that manned went before unmanned missions because for the last thirty years or so since the end of the Apollo program, only unmanned missions were sent. It is very dangerous and expensive to send men if the work can be done by robotic craft for less.
