The Americans launched the Apollo 11 mission because they were in the 'Space Race' with Russia, and they didn't want Russia to win.
However, the Apollo 11 mission was in fact a hoax. Russia had the technology to actually put a man on the moon, but the money. For America, it was the other way round. So America said that they would put a man on the moon by 1970, and in 1969, they launched the crew into the air, but not actually on the moon.
