The moon landings took place because of the rivalry between the USA and the USSR. In the early days of space travel, the USA believed (correctly) that the USSR had a long term aim of landing on the Moon. During the early space "race" it was apparent that the USSR were being more successful, (the USSR launched the first satellite and the first man to orbit the Earth). At the same time, the USA had some embarrassing failed launches. The then president (John Kennedy) realised that it was important for the USA to be seen to be a leader in technology and there made a commitment for a manned moon landing by the end of the 1960s. Following the assasination of Kennedy, it became politically impossible to cancel the moon landing missions - they were tremendously expensive; Russian space scientists admitted after the collapse of the USSR that they couldn't possibly match the USA spending on Apollo.

Why did the us want to go to the moon first?
The US wanted to go to the moon first as part of the space race with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It was seen as a demonstration of technological and scientific superiority, as well as a way to showcase military capabilities. The accomplishment also provided political and national prestige for the US.
Why do you see only part of the moon at a time?
The Moon's rotation and orbit around Earth cause us to see only one hemisphere of the Moon from Earth. This means that we can only see the parts of the Moon where sunlight is hitting, creating different phases as the Moon orbits Earth.
Why does it seems like the moon go's around the earth once a day?
It seems as if the moon go's around the earth once a day because of the moon's rotation around the earth cause us (humans) to see the moon in it's different phases which also is every hoir
Did the us go to the moon?
yes
Equal periods of rotation and revolution of the moon cause what?
Cause us to always see the same "face" of the moon. This is called synchronous rotation.

Did US go to moon?
yes of course. who can prove otherwise.
What was significant about the landing of the spacecraft surveyor on the moon?
Cause the us was comprying with Russia at the time

The moon gravity can cause tides.

Moon gets the energy from sun. Moon does not emits the ionizing radiations. So you can enjoy the super moon with out any problem to your eye sight.
