Apollo 11 is a significant event because it was the first time that humans had set foot on the moon for the u.s. Well obviously but it also confirmed Americas superiority over Russia and keeping jfk's promise to have a man on the moon and return him by the end of the century.

Who did Neil Armstrong cut in front of for space mission?
Neil Armstrong didn't "cut in front of" anyone for either of his space missions, Apollo 11 or his lesser-known first space flight, Gemini VIII. Apollo crews were assigned by the head of the astronaut office, Deke Slayton - himself an astronaut who had been grounded by a heart condition. Slayton set up a standard rotation whereby a crew that had been backup for one Apollo mission became the prime flight crew three missions later. Armstrong had been backup commander for the Apollo 8 mission, so by the normal crew rotation he became the prime commander of the Apollo 11 mission. Buzz Aldrin had been backup Command Module Pilot for Apollo 8, so he was also in the regular rotation for Apollo 11. Michael Collins, Command Module Pilot on Apollo 11, had originally been scheduled to fly on Apollo 8 but was replaced by Jim Lovell due to surgery. So he was given the opportunity to fly on Apollo 11.
