The Soviet unmanned spacecraft Luna 9 was the first man-made probe to make a soft landing on the moon on February 3rd, 1966.
The first space probe was the Luna I by the United Soviet Socialist Republic. It did a flyby of the moon in 1959
The first space probe to fly past the Moon was the Soviet Luna 1 spacecraft in 1959. Luna 1 was intended to impact the Moon, but instead, it missed the Moon and became the first human-made object to enter orbit around the Sun.

The first man-made object to reach the moon was the Luna 2 probe in 1959.
China's first lunar probe landed on the moon in a controlled collision, this was the first phase of that nation's three-stage moon mission. The second stage involved sending a second probe to practice soft landings. The mission will culminate with the launch and landing of a rover on the moon to collect mineral samples in 2012. The probe -- Chang'e-1, named after a legendary moon goddess -- launched into space on October 24, 2007.

because the moon is the earth's nearest neighbor
The Soviet Union's unmanned spacecraft Luna 9 was the first man-made probe to make a soft landing on the moon on February 3rd, 1966.
There wasn't a probe when man landed on the moon. Instead, he walked on the moon July 1969 with the Apollo space program for NASA.
Space, quite obviously. Near every single claim that the moon landing was faked has been debunked over 25 years ago. We almost have a probe on Saturn's moon Titan, we have a giant space station orbiting the planet, how couldn't we have traveled to the moon?
