It should have said: "Which country was the first to land people on the moon" - the USA.
With that being said, China is doing the work necessary to get their. When they do, the moon will be a communist outpost.
What most don't realize is China wants to be the sole broker for all energy. H3 is all over place on the moon,
All you have to do is....ASK THE RUSSIANS...
Remember...it was the middle of the 'Cold War'...the two superpowers were in a 'space race' to get to the moon.
Does any body REALLY think the Russians just took our word for it ???
The missions to the moon were ALL monitored and scrutinized meticulously by the Russian Space Program...and they had the ability to follow the lunar landings just as we were.
THEY after all hold many space firsts...for instance...the FIRST man-made object to pass near the Moon, first man-made object in Heliocentric orbit in 1959, Luna 1..
the FIRST probe Moon impact with the Luna 2, in 1959..,
the FIRST image of the far side of the moon with Luna 3 in 1959
the FIRST unmanned lunar probe to make a soft landing on and transmit from the surface of the moon, Luna 9, in 1966
not to mention the FIRST living beings to reach the Moon (circumlunar flights) and return UNHARMED (not full of radiation from the Van Allen Belt ) to Earth, Russian tortoises on Zond 5 in 1968.
Believe me...if the RUSSIANS thought and believed we faked it....they would be screaming it out to the world.
Also...the lunar landings left instruments on the lunar surface that are still used to this day...

The Lunar landings left all kinds of hardware on the surface of the moon, and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has been sending images like this back since 2009...
It is a disgrace to the brave men who risked EVERYTHING and achieved the loftiest of human achievements by spreading rumor and innuendo regarding it's validity when even our staunchest critics DO NOT DISPUTE these facts...
God bless these REAL American heroes...
The last Apollo Mission landed on the Moon on 11 December 1972.
From those your list, I lean toward India.
My mom worked for NASA (assembly work) at the time...very cool memories as a kid.
Are schools deleting that from History Books now?
I know Germans are picky about who avoids their customs taxes. The Darmstadt Polizei took great offense at the Boy Scouts selling ice cream to German nationals during the German-American fest. Might've been the fact they were buying it by the case. Anyway, the 42nd MP Customs cops showed up and were quite inhospitable until the Deputy Community Commander (Also the head of the Boy Scouts) suggested that, as he controlled all the 'real estate' in the MilCom, they might want to go away before they had to explain to their commander why he wasn't going to get the nice new shiny facility he'd been promised...
Yeah,
The Europeans and their taxes.
You surely remember the oily smoke from the fires around Kuwait in 1991;
If a fellow in Australia had figured out how to take that smoke and clean it into pure oxygen;
While the rest of the world would be looking for a way to copy, mass produce, otherwise capitalize on or steal the secret of how it worked,
The Europeans would be looking for a way to collect a tax on it.
Just asking;
Do the Europeans bitch when Vesuvius or Etna erupt?
Granted, it has been a while since last happening but expecting any country to "control" it's volcano is just plumb silly. Of course, many of them seem to be something of "control" freaks anyway.
There are some things which we humans simply cannot control.
I can imagine how they reacted to the eruptions of Tambora and Krakatoa which had really long-lasting effects on global weather.
