Because it was the peak of the Cold War, and the Soviets had beaten us to space (Sputnik), put the first man into space (Yuri Gagarin), and it was a matter of national pride that the USA beat the USSR to the moon to make up for losing other key milestones of the Space Race.
Yes i know that theory quite well and it does make alot of sense - until you realize they haven't been past 400 miles up since then and NASA astronaut Don Petite said they lost the technology to go back to the moon - and like 5 astronauts have claimed they cant get beyond low earth orbit which is between 100 - 1200 miles, so i thinks it s probably just in the 100 ish range and we cant tell the difference.
I talk to globe trolls all the time and they ask what you make you believe nasa is real - well that's simple - go back to the moon and construct a billboard we can see here on earth (with a telescope) something like that would crush FE. and think of the advertising profit Nasa could make, huge.
