The name of the rocket that launched the first people on the moon was a Saturn V, on mission Apollo 11.
The Apollo 11 mission was the first US space mission to successfully land astronauts on the moon. On July 20, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the lunar surface, followed by Buzz Aldrin.
Apollo 8 was the first mission to orbit the moon. Its crew was Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders.
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.
The name of the NASA Space Shuttle that successfully launched from Kennedy Space Center on its final mission was Atlantis. Atlantis completed its final mission (STS-135) on July 8, 2011.

The Apollo mission to the moon taught us about the moon's geology, its origins, and the conditions on its surface. It also expanded our understanding of space travel, engineering, and technology. Additionally, it showcased the power of human ingenuity, determination, and collaboration on a global scale.
No. The USSR was the first to launch any kind of space craft with the launch of "Sputnik 1" in 1957. The US was the first to send a man to the moon in 1969 with the Apollo 11 mission
