Best Answer

The US was in competition with the USSR at the time, and the USSR had taken the lead in the space race by being the first nation to put a satellite in orbit. The US needed to demonstrate that it could outdo the USSR in order to bolster its international prestige. Rocket science, needed to send a man to the moon, also has military applications. If the US knows how to send a man to the moon, that speaks well of US capacity to send a missile to a specific target on Earth. So it was a Cold War strategy.
