to learn more about the moon
Apollo experiments and sample returns were designed to study lunar geology and environment (seismic studies, heat flow, magnetics, solar wind, rock and soil analysis). They were not for testing nuclear weapons; any Earth science benefits were secondary to understanding the Moon.
