None. All 12 US astronauts that have walked on the Moon have been male. Likewise, all 24 astronauts that have travelled to lunar orbit have been men. More than 50 women have travelled into space, but none have yet gone to the Moon.
A total of 24 US astronauts have been to the Moon, and 12 have walked on its surface. There were a total of 27 astronauts on 9 Apollo lunar missions, but three of these went twice. (see related question)
Astronauts currently work in six month shifts on the international space station. A single astronaut might fly only once in his career. Others, however, have flown as many as five or six times! (Astronaut training is expensive.)
3. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon while Mike Collins stayed in orbit.

A pioneer is someone who is first to do something, particularly things like going to new places. The first astronauts are pioneers as they were the first people to go into space. Since then there have been many firsts for many astronauts, like first space walks, first orbit to the moon, first visit to the moon and so on. Astronauts continue to do new things and become the first people to do them. As long as space exploration continues to develop, there will always be pioneers amongst the astronauts.

Between 1968 and 1972, eight Apollo missions took astronauts to the moon,and entered lunar orbit before returning to Earth.Six of those missions dispatched landers to the surface, carrying two astronauts in each.
The Apollo 11 mission included Neil Armstrong and two other astronauts: Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Only Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon with him; Michael Collins remained in orbit of the moon aboard the Command Module.
Each Gemini spacecraft launched 2 astronauts. 16 different astronauts flew a total of 10 Gemini flights. The last 4 Gemini flights (Gemini 9 through 12) were commanded by astronauts who had previously flown on an earlier Gemini flight.
No astronauts have died on the moon.
