Only once, on the Gemini 8 mission. He was listed as a backup pilot for the Gemini 11 but did not go into space on that mission, staying on Earth until he reached the moon with Apollo 11.

How was an Apollo landing on Earth different to a space shuttle landing?

An Apollo landing involved a capsule re-entering Earth's atmosphere for a water landing, using parachutes to slow its descent. In contrast, a space shuttle landing was a controlled glide to a runway on land, using wings to navigate and land like an airplane. The space shuttle also had the ability to be reused multiple times.

How many times did nasa make a space shuttle before the first moon landing?

None. The space shuttle came after the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo projects (Apollo got us to the moon.) The space shuttle was intended to be a freighter of sorts - ferrying materials, satellites and people from Earth's surface to low earth orbit (LEO) and possibly to one or more space stations in geosynchronous orbit. The shuttle was never intended for long distance flights to the moon or further**. They are to be retired next year (2010.) The first space shuttle launch was in 1981, 12 years after the first moon landing in 1969 and 9 years after the last manned trip to the moon. {If you use the official term for a moon landing, both manned and unmanned, then the Soviet Union landed an unmanned vehicle on the moon in 1966, 15 years before the first space shuttle launch.) ** Half of the shuttle (the black underbelly) is landing/shield tiles that burn off as it lands: if you were making a ship for space (and not our atmosphere) you wouldn't need these tiles, you'd need shielding but not the tiles.
