Land men on the moon and return them safely to earth by the end of the decade.

This was the "public" goal declared by president Kennedy.

However the underlying secret goal was to demonstrate which country could throw the largest hydrogen bomb possible the farthest distance and hit a target accurately - without having to actually throw a real hydrogen bomb (and risk starting a war). By getting men to the moon we proved we could deliver any possible hydrogen bomb anywhere we wanted to put it on earth.

To beat Russia to the moon. And to create a huge event intended to both cow the USSR and to give the US public something real to celebrate after more than a decade of coming 'runner up' to the Soviets in the conquest of space. It's been suggested that a further goal was to deflect attention away from JFK's contreversial handling of the situation with Cuba. to successfully land on the moon before the soviets
