There is a technical answer to this which is very complex. There is another answer for this that is also appropriate but not very technical. The first and subsequent moon landings (and one near miss!0 were the result of at least 10 years of determined and calculated effort on the part of literally thousands of like minded individuals who felt it was their mission to accomplish the astronomical feet of safely landing, and returning earth people to the moon. People of ALL walks of life participated in and shared the glories and frustrations of this event. At least 3 U.S. Astronauts lost their lives while making this attempt (Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee on Apollo 1 while on launch pad tests). It would be safe to say others gave their lives as well in support of what they determined to be a noble and worthwhile endeavor! There were others in the race, notably the Russian Cosmonauts, many who also gave their lives in pursuit of a dream.
