Nine Apollo missions went to the Moon, of which six landed. Each carried three people, two of whom landed on the Moon while one stayed with the command and service module in lunar orbit. The crews for each mission were as follows:
Apollo 8 (first lunar flight, orbital only, no lunar module): Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, Bill Anders.
(Apollo 9 was an earth orbit flight test of the LM)
Apollo 10 (lunar orbital test of lunar module, no landing): John Young, Tom Stafford, Gene Cernan.
Apollo 11 (first lunar landing): Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Mike Collins. Armstrong and Aldrin landed.
Apollo 12: Pete Conrad, Al Bean, Dick Gordon. Conrad and Bean landed.
Apollo 13: Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, Jack Swigert. Lovell makes his second lunar flight and would have landed with Haise if not for the oxygen tank explosion that crippled the spacecraft. No landing was made.
Apollo 14: Alan Shepard, Ed Mitchell, Stu Roosa. Shepard and Mitchell landed.
Apollo 15: Dave Scott, Jim Irwin, Al Worden. Scott and Irwin landed.
Apollo 16: John Young, Charlie Duke, Ken Mattingly. John Young makes his second lunar flight and lands on the Moon with Charlie Duke.
Apollo 17: Gene Cernan, Jack Schmitt, Ron Evans. Cernan makes a second lunar flight and lands with Schmitt. Cernan is the last man on the surface of the Moon.
So, if you count up, you'll find 12 men walked on the Moon, while another 12 orbited or flew by it. Three men went to the Moon twice, two of whom walked on its surface on their second trip.

Six.
Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17.
Apollo 13 had an oxygen tank explosion on the way to the Moon and barely made it back to Earth after aborting the landing. See the movie about it.

There were 6, however Apollo 13 was not one of them,
They were:
Apollo 11, July 1969
Apollo 12, Nov. 1969
Apollo 14, Jan 1971
Apollo 15, July 1971
Apollo 16, April 1972
Apollo 17, Dec. 1972
And yes, they really did land on the moon. . .

A better question is 'How many times has woman landed on the moon?'. Answer: None!
Sadbolt: I was probably poking fun at the sexism inherent in the language used in the question. Partly.

hey rewind---
woman has not landed on the moon - just as they have never been president - because the world is a male dominated society.
