The first manned flight was on April 12th 1961 with Yuri Gagarin. The first man landing on the Moon was on July 20th 1969.
So it was a bit under 8 years.
The first manned spaceflight, made by Yuri Gagarin in 1961, lasted about 108 minutes from launch to landing.
Apollo 17 was the eleventh manned space mission in the NASA Apollo program. It was the first night launch of a U.S. human spaceflight and the sixth and final lunar landing mission of the Apollo program. The mission was launched at 12:33 a.m. EST on December 7, 1972, and concluded on December 19. It remains both the most recent manned moon landing and manned flight beyond low Earth orbit.
Landing site coordinates: 0.647° N latitude, 23.505° E. longitude.
Apollo 11Apollo 11 was the name of the first moon landing mission.

The Apollo 11 mission was the first manned lunar landing.
We are so over this urban legend.
