Why did neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins get sent to the moon?

Why did the Apollo 11 land on Mare Tranquillitatis?
The landing site was chosen for a complex variety of reasons including its position on the moon in order to minimize the distance traveled to conserve fuel, and the angle of the sun at the landing time. Also, the need to get the astronauts back to earth at the safest time of day for splashdown was taken into account. Also, the area had to be reasonably flat for landing. In the approach to the surface, the computer was found to be heading the lunar module toward a landing on a crater, and Armstrong took over the controls and was able to land the Eagle in a more suitable part of Tranquility.
What did Apollo 11 explore?
The Apollo XII Lunar Module Eagle landed in the Sea of Tranquility on the surface of the moon on July 20th 1969.This landing site was chosen not for it's geological or aesthetic interest but due to its flat nature making it easier to land there than many other places on the moon.Because Apollo XII was the first manned landing it was essential purely to land rather than obtain any scientific knowledge, but astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin spent approximately two hours outside their spacecraft collecting rocks and soil samples, although neither man ventured more than a hundred yards from the landing site, so in actual fact very little exploring was done before the men had to leave the Lunar surface.
