no not to the moon but monkeys were sent into space to test for human safety in future manned missions but only humans went to the moon no other animals were sent.
1969

The first program to send people to the moon was the Apollo program launched by NASA in the United States. The Apollo 11 mission successfully landed the first humans on the moon on July 20, 1969.
The next generation manned spacecraft is named "Orion" The name of the program is "Constellation"
The first program was called NASA. NASA was the best and the first to send people like Apolo to the moon and to other planets. Hope I answered your question :)
USA's NASA's Project Apollo was designed to send people to the Moon and bring them back alive.
NASA is planing to send 4 astronauts vabck to the moon in 2018. NASA has already begane sending orbiters to the moon. the first one was called LRO. its going to be there until sometime in october. its plane is to crash into the luner surface. the date this is going to happen i have no clue. well the new rockets that are going to send the men back to the moon is called Ares. its also going to bring people to and from the International Space Station. (ISS)
because they want to find out if there is life there
NASA is not crashing to satellites into the moon. Rather, They send two "observation satellites" to the moon and crashed a army grade missile into the moon at the south pole of the moon to find out if there was water/ice under the surface of the moon. The 2 satellites were there to observe what particles flew away from the moon after the explosion of the missile.
The focus of NASA since the Apollo missions has shifted to other priorities, such as the Space Shuttle program, International Space Station, and Mars exploration. Returning to the moon is part of NASA's Artemis program, aiming to establish a sustainable human presence there, with plans to send astronauts back by 2024.
It was a monkey. They always send the monkeys because they have the closest relationship to humans.
NASA will not shut down it is just shutting down the space program. After the space program will start the Constellation Program that will send human beings to the moon at back to earth safely.
