If this is a trick question, "GO TO" and "LAND ON" are two different things...
The crew of Apollo 9 (James McDivitt ,David Scott,Russell Schweickart ) were the first to orbit the moon. (GO TO)
The the first men to LAND on the moon were members of Apollo 11 Neil Armstrong & Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin
Neil Armstron has the honor of being the first to WALK on the moon.

The crew of Apollo 8 (Borman, Lovell & Anders) were the first humans to leave Earth orbit and go to the moon.
Apollo 9 never left Earth orbit; it was a test run for the CSM/LM (Command/Service Module & Lunar Module) docking procedures.
Apollo 10 was a full-up dress rehearsal for the moon landing. The LM came to within about 10 miles of the Lunar surface.
Apollo 11's LM was the first craft occupied by humans to land on the Moon. Neil Armstrong was the firs human to walk on the moon, followed by Edward "Buzz" Aldrin.

Neil Armstrong....
It was 1961. John F. Kennedy was the President of the U.S. He wanted to put a man on the Moon. The U.S. had just started trying to put people in space. Was NASA ready to go to the Moon? The President and NASA knew they could do it. They were ready to put a man on the Moon. Apollo 11's job was to land two men on the Moon. They also had to come back to Earth safely.
Apollo 11 blasted off on July 16, 1969. Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins were the astronauts on Apollo 11.
Four days later, Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the Moon. They went down to the Moon on the Lunar Module. It was called the Eagle. Collins stayed in orbit. He did experiments and took pictures.
On July 20, Neil Armstrong became the first man to step on the Moon. He and Aldrin walked around for three hours. They did experiments. They picked up bits of Moon dirt and rocks.
They put a U.S. flag on the Moon. They even left a sign on the Moon.
The two astronauts went back to orbit. On July 24, 1969, all three astronauts came back to Earth safely.
President Kennedy's wish came true. It took less than 10 years. Man had walked on the Moon.
