the us space mission started in Toronto USA in 1981
When Russia sent his fist manned mission into space, that marked the beginning of the space race between US and Russia.
The first US space laboratory was Skylab
The first program to put a man in space was the Soviet Union's Vostok program, so the second manned space program would be the US Mercury program. The second US manned program was Gemini.
For the US, it was Mercury-Redstone 3 (piloted by Alan Shepard). For the USSR it was Vostok 1 (piloted by Yuri Gagarin)
Apollo 7 was an 11-day Earth-orbital mission, the first manned launch of the Saturn IB launch vehicle, and the first three-person US space mission.

The Apollo 11 mission was significant to the US because this was the first manned mission landing on the moon. The mission commander was Neil Armstrong, usually people know that name as one of the first people to walk on the moon... so hopefully that helps. It also sybolized being superior to Russia since the US won the 'Space Race' by landing on the moon first.
