There were 9 Apollo flights to the moon, each carried 3 astronauts. That is 27 Americans, but, 3 of those 27 went twice (Lovell, Cernan and Young) so a total of 24 Americans have traveled to the moon.
There were only 6 landings, each carrying 2 people, so 12 Americans have walked on the moon.

No, there are no plans for more Apollo missions. The Apollo program ended in 1972 after the successful moon landings. NASA's focus has shifted to other space exploration missions, such as the Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon and eventually send astronauts to Mars.
The Apollo program involved thousands of people working on its various missions, including engineers, scientists, astronauts, and support staff. However, each Apollo mission to land on the moon typically included a crew of three astronauts who traveled to the moon and back.
