gravity pulls space craft towards it. It's engines make it go round, the engines have to push the space craft away from the moon to stop it being pulled down to the surface

Apollo 11
Which is the first rocket and the first man who went to the moon?
The first man to put foot on the moon was Neil Armstrong followed shortly by Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. The rocket that took them into Earth orbit was a Saturn V (five). The spacecraft that took them to the moon and into orbit around it was an Apollo and the spacecraft that took them from moon orbit to the surface of the moon was a Lunar Module.
