The U.S.S.R with Luna 2 on 12th September 1959. Although "landed" should be replaced with "crashed" The U.S.S.R with Luna 9 on 31st January 1966. The first moon landing.
The U.S.A with Surveyor 1 on 30th May 1966. The first U.S successful landing.
This is a little ambiguous, so below are several "firsts." Let's take "space" as meaning "at least 100 km above sea level" which is a fairly common choice. In that case: * The first rockets capable of reaching that altitude (the V-2 rockets) were developed by Germany * The first scientific (i.e. non-military) rocket flight to that height was by the US using a captured and modified V-2 * First animals in space (fruit flies): US * First satellite (Sputnik): USSR * First non-Earth landing (Moon): USSR * First manned spaceflight: USSR * First non-Earth soft landing (Moon): USSR * First non-Earth manned landing (Moon): US
The first unmanned mission to the moon was completed by the USSR's Luna 2 probe.
The first manned mission was completed by the USA's Apollo 8.

No light years have ever been used in space exploration yet, mainly because no human being has ever been more than 0.00000004 light year away from Earth yet.
The moon is a part of the solar system and is also been used by the scientific society for space exploration and for experiments in space.
Not many Americans like the idea of space exploration, some think it's to much money to handle. But those that do believe that it is valuable have seen all the good technological advances that have been made.
