Best Answer

Because we were in a Space Race to get to the Moon before the Soviet Union, which culminated in the Apollo missions of 1968 to 1972.

Apollo 8 had already orbited the Moon and Apollo 10 was the "dress rehearsal" using the Lunar Lander. Once all of the systems had been tested, Apollo 11 made the actual first landing in July 1969, with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the lunar surface.
