The moon landings were part of the "Apollo" space exploration.
Six space shuttles have landed on the moon. The space shuttles, however, were a part of the Space Shuttle program and were not designed to operate on the moon’s surface. They were primarily used for missions in low Earth orbit.
Apollo 13 went into outer space as part of NASA's mission to land astronauts on the moon and return them safely to Earth. The goal was to explore the moon's surface and conduct scientific experiments in space.
No; by international treaty, all of space is "internationalized" and to be used purely for peaceful purposes.
Rakesh Sharma, an Indian astronaut, did not step on the moon. He was the first Indian to travel to space as part of the Soyuz T-11 mission in 1984 and spent eight days in space aboard the Salyut 7 space station.

The moon is a part of the solar system and is also been used by the scientific society for space exploration and for experiments in space.

The part of the space race to reach the moon first, ended when Apollo 11 landed on the moon, becoming the first manned-craft to do so.
The three main space programs developed for human space travel and moon missions are NASA (United States), Soviet space program (USSR), and the Apollo program (United States), which was a part of NASA focused specifically on landing astronauts on the moon.
The first space rocket to hit the moon was the Soviet spacecraft Luna 2, which impacted the moon on September 14, 1959. It was part of the Luna program aimed at studying the moon's properties and environment.
Due to the fact that that was the way it was formed/collided with Earth (current theories sugges that the moon is a trapped object from another part of the solar system.)
