Russia was the first to send unmanned probes to the moon, the US was the first to send humans.
No. The Us was the first country to land a man on the moon, but it was in 1969.
Yes. Apollo 11 was the first Apollo mission to successfully land on the moon, but it was not the first ever US spacecraft to land on the moon, though it was the first spacecraft to successfully carry people to the moon.
If one thinks a Moon landing is the arrival of an intact (i.e not a crash into the Moon) unmanned spacecraft onto the Moon's surface, then the Russians were the first to do this in 1966 However, if one thinks of a Moon landing as the arrival and return of a manned spacecraft onto the Moon's surface then the people of US were the first to do this in 1969. No other nation has yet made a manned moon landing.

My history in this topic is not quite in check. i know that in the 1950 the Soviet Union (Russia) and United States were having quite the "battle" to see who can get to the moon first. Russia did land a ship on the moon, but US was the first nation to put a person on the moon. Hope this helped. -Chris *don't base your information on me, this is just my knowledge and i may be wrong.!

He did so to mark that the Americans were the first to land on the moon.
Russia and US wanted to show who is better in technologies and the best way was to reach the moon.
