Very little. It mostly proved that the US could throw the largest hydrogen bomb the furthest distance the most accurately, without actually having to throw one at someone.

What cause US to go to the moon?
The moon landings took place because of the rivalry between the USA and the USSR. In the early days of space travel, the USA believed (correctly) that the USSR had a long term aim of landing on the Moon. During the early space "race" it was apparent that the USSR were being more successful, (the USSR launched the first satellite and the first man to orbit the Earth). At the same time, the USA had some embarrassing failed launches. The then president (John Kennedy) realised that it was important for the USA to be seen to be a leader in technology and there made a commitment for a manned moon landing by the end of the 1960s. Following the assasination of Kennedy, it became politically impossible to cancel the moon landing missions - they were tremendously expensive; Russian space scientists admitted after the collapse of the USSR that they couldn't possibly match the USA spending on Apollo.
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.
