According from what I understand, no one has visited the moon ever since the Apollo mission mainly because of politics and how Congress stopped funding it, throwing away parts that they paid for. I assume it's just to fun anything else that they found important.

Was the Apollo 11 mission the last one to the moon?
No. Following Apollo 11 were six more manned Apollo Missions; Apollo 12, Apollo13 (did not land on moon), Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16, and Apollo 17. (Apollo 18, 19, and 20 were canceled.) However there have been numerous unmanned, robotic, moon missions since then by several different countries.
What happend to Apollo 18?
Apollo 18 never flew. The Apollo program was originally scheduled for missions up through Apollo 20, but the last three missions were cancelled due to budget cuts, making Apollo 17 the final mission.
Who went to moon for the first time?
So far twelve people have walked on the moon during six missions. They are, in order:Neil ArmstrongBuzz AldrinCharles ConradAlan L. BeanAlan ShepardEdgar MitchellDavid ScottJames IrwinJohn YoungCharles DukeEugene CernanHarrison Schmitt
What happened to the Apollo 2?
The first three missions of the Apollo Program were unmanned test flights of Apollo hardware. These missions were officially named AS-201, AS-202, and AS-203. The first manned mission was named AS-204. However AS-204 met with disaster, when fire broke out during a routine ground test and all three crew members were killed. The widows of the three astronauts asked NASA to retire the mission naming convention in honor of their husbands. NASA agreed, and AS-204 was renamed Apollo 1. NASA then made the decision that further missions would begin with Apollo 4. It is my pure speculation that the names 2 and 3 were skipped in honor of the Apollo 1 crew. Since there were three astronauts killed, Apollos 1, 2, and 3 were retired in their memory. As such, the next flight was named Apollo 4, so there was no official Apollo 2.
How much did Apollo 7 cost?
If you take the ~$20.4 billion price tag of the Apollo program and break it down into a cost per manned flight (Apollo flew 11 manned missions, 6 of which landed on the moon), each mission cost roughly $1.85 billion. Of course there are many ways to break down the cost of the missions, but since NASA accounted for the program as a whole rather than per mission there is no official figure.
Were the moon landings part of NASA's Apollo project?
Yes they were. Since the Apollo missions, man has not yet set foot on the moon.

How long does it take to get to the moon from earth using a space shuttle?
The Space Shuttle is incapable of traveling to the moon. The only manned spacecraft to travel to the moon was the Apollo spacecraft, which flew 9 lunar missions in the late 1960s and early 70s. Of these lunar missions, 6 successfully landed on the moon. Since Apollo 17 in 1972, no humans have visited the moon. The Apollo spacecraft, however, took about three days to reach the moon.
What are the astronauts on moon doing when on vacation?
There have been no astronauts on the moon since the end of the Apollo missions.
Does everyone that goes into space go onto the moon?
No. There have been no moon missions since Apollo 17 in 1972. All the manned missions since have been in low earth orbit and have been related to the International Space Station, space shuttle, Skylab, and the Apollo Soyuz mission.
What happend to Apollo 18?
Apollo 18 never flew. The Apollo program was originally scheduled for missions up through Apollo 20, but the last three missions were cancelled due to budget cuts, making Apollo 17 the final mission.
Where in space have human beings gone and when did this happen?
Human beings have traveled to space in low Earth orbit, with the furthest being to the moon during the Apollo missions in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Additionally, humans have visited the International Space Station (ISS) since the year 2000.
Did Apollo 3 make it into space?
During a test run of the Apollo 1 module, there was an explosion. all three members where killed in the accident. Since th Apollo missions started a tragedy, NASA skipped ahead to Apollo 7, wchich is a lucky number. so,there was no Apollo 3
