Mainly to prove that the US had the best technology/science/rockets.
The US and Russia were deep into their Cold War and the only thing keeping them from blowing each other up was the fact that by the time the US got their nuclear warheads over Russian soil the Russians would have their missles over the US (This is where the term Mutually Assured Destruction came from). In order to stay ahead of the enemy, each nation tried to prove they had the best rockets and rocket scientists, and in a broader stroke, the best technology. Eventually this race to be "the best" resulted in the US putting man on the moon.
