The Apollo 11 mission was significant to the US because this was the first manned mission landing on the moon.

The mission commander was Neil Armstrong, usually people know that name as one of the first people to walk on the moon... so hopefully that helps.

It also sybolized being superior to Russia since the US won the 'Space Race' by landing on the moon first.
