The only Apollo missions that were designed to go to the moon were Apollo 8,10,11,12,13,14,15,16and 17. The others were test missions or missions within earth's own orbit. They all reached the moon without exception. Apollo 8 and 10 were designed to reach the moon, but not to land. Instead their mission was to test equipment and to search out possible landing sites. They were successful in this. Apollo 13 was designed to land on the moon, but because of an explosion on board, was unable to land. Instead it reached the moon and used the moon's gravity to perform a 'slingshot' manoever and return to earth in an emergency rescue. The rest of the Apollo missions (11,12,14,15,16,17) all landed on the moon as planned.
