Neil was he first to go on the moon because a Chinese man was the first man in space so president John F. Kennedy decided that an American would be the first person on the moon.

Wow. The first person to enter the earth's orbit was Yuri Gagarin. A Russian. The US decided to land a man on the moon and deliver him safely back to earth. Neil Armstrong just happened to be that man.
