What sparked the Apollo?

The space race of the 1960s which lead to the Apollo moon landings was a cold war exercise to demonstrate which country could throw the largest hydrogen bomb, the farthest distance, the most accurately, without having to actually throw a hydrogen bomb (because once one hydrogen bomb was thrown for real the other side would throw its own and there might be nobody left to decide the winner).

The US won this cold war exercise when it landed on the moon in 1969 and the USSR conceded but claimed to have never been interested in participating (but CIA spy satellite photos prove otherwise, it is just that they were unable to successfully build their Saturn V class rocket needed for them to reach the moon).
