Apollo 8: launched December 21st 1968. Frank Borman, Jim Lovell & Bill Anders went into lunar orbit. No landing was made (in fact no lunar module was taken).
Apollo 10: launched May 18th 1969. Tom Stafford, John Young and Gene Cernan orbit the Moon and take the lunar module down to 50,000 feet above the surface in a test flight.
Apollo 11: launched July 16 1969. Neil armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins go into lunar orbit. Armstrong and Aldrin land in the Sea Of Tranquility.
Apollo 12: launched November 14 1969. Pete Conrad, Alan bean and Dick Gordon go into orbit. Conrad and Bean land in the Ocean Of Storms.
Apollo 13: launched April 11th 1970. Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert head out, with Lovell and Haise due to land in the Fra Mauro highlands. An oxygen tank explosion cripples the spacecraft, ruling out a landing. However, the safest way to bring the astronauts back home involves swinging them around the Moon, so all three still get to see the Moon up close. Lovell becomes the first man to see it twice.
Apollo 14: launched January 31 1971. Alan Shepard, Ed Mitchell and Stu Roosa go to the Moon, with Shepard and Mitchell landing in the Fra Mauro highlands and carrying out the mission planned for Apollo 13.
Apollo 15: launched July 26 1971. Dave Scott, Jim Irwin and Al Worden go to the Moon, with Scott and Irwin landing near Hadley Rille. They spend three days on the lunar surface, and are the first to take the lunar roving vehicle; a small electronic car.
Apollo 16: launched April 16 1972. Carried John Young, Charlie Duke and Ken Mattingly to the Moon, with Young and Duke landing in the Descartes region. Young makes his second trip to the Moon.
Apollo 17: launched December 07 1972.Gene Cernan, Jack Schmitt and Ron Evans go up, with Cernan and Schmitt landing in the Taurus-Littrow valley. Cernan makes his second trip to the Moon. Schmitt is the first and only qualified geologist to walk on the lunar surface.
So, nine flights to the moon, with two orbital flights, one abortive flyby and six landings. In total 24 men go to the Moon and 12 walk on its surface.
