Um, I don't want to rain on the parade here, but we aren't the only nation to send men to the moon.
Hi BrianTexas
Actually benjammin is technically correct in his statement. The Soviet Union did have space project to send men to the moon just as the United States of America did. The Soviet Moon Rocket was actually more massive than the Apollo Assembly. It blew up on the Launchpad. The reason why the Soviet rocket was more massive was because of the 3 inch Stainless Steel walls of the lunar space vehicle, which was required to protect the cosmonauts from the deadly radiation of the Van Allen Radiation belt. The US Apollo space craft had a few fractions of an inch of aluminum and mylar to protect the US astronauts from the radiation. The failure of the Soviet moon mission was airbrushed from Soviet history. Apparently the US astronauts landed successfully on the moon and returned successfully!!
