The Apollo program was the national effort that put humans on the Moon and its goals went beyond landing Americans on the Moon and returning them safely to Earth. The goals were to establish the technology to meet other national interests in space, achieve preeminence in space for the United States, carry out a program of scientific exploration of the Moon, and develop human capability to work in the lunar environment.
