i don't know about other countries, but the early American space program is my specialty. there were 6 manned missions, with 2 people per mission that made a lunar landing. There was only 1 failed lunar mission. It was the infamous Apollo 13, it is my REAL specialty. I know every thing there is to know about Apollo 13. But 12 men total for America...

Hita is right. More details:

Six manned missions landed on the moon. Each mission had 3 people, but each time only 2 of them walked on the surface (the 3rd person stayed above in orbit). So 12 people all together have walked on the moon.

In addition, there were three other missions in which the crew got as far as the moon but did not land--they turned around and came back. Those were all 3-man crews as well. In two cases, they were never supposed to land anyway (the mission was just to see if they could get that far and to test out some procedures and equipment). In the 3rd case (the famous "Apollo 13"), a landing was planned but had to be cancelled because of a serious accident on the spacecraft (the crew returned safely).

So, all together, there were 9 manned missions that got as far as the moon, each with 3 crew members; so 27 people have seen the moon up close.

I know the answer is 12 for Americans. 6 manned-flights, 3 in each flight, 2 in each 3 went on the moon.

Six manned missions with two crewmembers each landed on the moon during the Apollo program. Numerous unmanned probes have also landed.
