There were 17 Apollo missions. The early ones were for doing some tests in Earth orbit. Some were only sent up to observe the Moon. Apollo 8 was the first to go to the moon, although there were no plans to land on it. They were just testing technology, as were Apollo 9 and 10. Many things had to be tested before they could land. Apollo 11 was the first to land men on the moon. Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 also put men on the moon. Apollo 13 planned to put men on the moon, but there was a technical problem during their journey, so they did not land on the moon.

How may moon missions were apart of the Apollo program?
Apollo missions 8, 10 and 13 all orbited the moon, without landing. Apollo missions 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 did land on the moon. So there were 9 missions to the moon, of those, 6 landed.
How many manned space missions did not make it?
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.
Did the Apollo moon missions land on dark or light side?
All the Apollo missions landed on the side facing earth, the light side, otherwise they would loose radio contact.
How many times NASA go to moon?
There were 17 Apollo missions altogether, although not all of these went to the moon. Many were simply test missions, some unmanned, and some in earth orbit only. Of the missions that went to the moon, Apollo 8 was the first mission to reach the moon, orbit it and return, followed by the next mission to the moon, Apollo 10. However both these missions were not designed to land on the moon's surface but were designed to test the equipment and to look for suitable landing sites. Apollo 13 also reached the moon, but, because of an explosion on board, was not able to land but returned to earth having made a 'free return trajectory' around the moon. The missions that actually landed on the moon were Apollo 11 (the first) followed by 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 after which the Apollo programme was cancelled. So the number of mission to the moon in the Apollo programme was 9 missions, six of which made a landing, meaning that 12 astronauts in total have walked on the moon's surface to date.
What was the name of the American spaceships used in the trips to the moon?
The program was called Apollo, and the missions designated with a number. Apollo 11 was the first to land on the moon. The command and lunar modules were all given different names by their crews.

Yes, only the United States has sent successful manned missions to and have set foot on the Moon. All missions that have resulted in a manned landing on the Moon were conducted through the Apollo Program. From 1967 to 1969, the Soviet Union attempted several manned missions to the Moon, but ultimately all of them failed.
