Apollo 11
Incorrect, it is The Soviet Union's Luna missions which included
Luna 1, fly by
Luna 2, crashed into surface
Luna 3, Landed on moon
Then came:
Apollo 8, fly by
Apollo 11, landed on moon
It is called the Eagle.
The only answer I got was apollo, but it did not state what year that happened. Was there a landing on the moon first without it being manned, and later was there the landing with men on board?
It was called the Eagle, after the Jules Verne novel. From the earth to the moon.
The reason they sent animals up before the people is that they wanted to make sure that the space craft was safe. If the air leaked out. If it stayed together in space. If the dog or monkey came back safely, then the space-craft was ready to travel in.
The first moon landing, Apollo 11, took off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 16, 1969.

Due to the Moon's gravity
As stated in the category, Apollo 11 from the US was the first craft on the moon. Neil Armstrong, accompanied by Buz Aldrin were the first men on the moon.
No space shuttle has landed on the moon. The craft would need ample landing space to do so. But even then, the shuttle could not LEAVE the moon, since the boosters needed to lift off would not be present.
Eagle was the lunar module of Apollo 11 that landed on the moon for the first moon landing. All of the moon landings had a lunar module which could separate from the main craft and land on the moon. It could then take off again and dock with the main craft. The different lunar modules were given different names.
The reason they sent animals up before the people is that they wanted to make sure that the space craft was safe. If the air leaked out. If it stayed together in space. If the dog or monkey came back safely, then the space-craft was ready to travel in.
