Apollo 8, the mission that went to the Moon without a Lunar Module to test its capabilities in Lunar orbit. Apollo 10, the mission that took the Lunar Module and had to test the mission abort procedure as the astronauts were flying the first stages of the descent, with no intentions of landing.
Some notable Apollo missions include Apollo 11 (first successful moon landing), Apollo 13 (mission that experienced an oxygen tank explosion), and Apollo 17 (final manned moon landing mission). There were a total of 17 Apollo missions.
The moon missions were given the name of Apollo.
Men went to the moon 9 times, and walked on the moon 6 times. Apollo 8: Lunar Orbit Apollo 10: Landing rehearsal Apollo 11: Landing Apollo 12: Landing Apollo 13: Failed mission Apollo 14: Landing Apollo 15: Landing Apollo 16: Landing Apollo 17: Landing
Apollo 11 was the first mission to land on the moon. The previous Apollo missions were test missions to rehearse the procedures needed for the landing.
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.
The moon-landing missions were part of the Apollo program

For landing missions, it would have been the third moon landing. For the Apollo program as a whole, it was the 5th trip to the moon.
The six Apollo moon landing missions launched between July, 1969, and December, 1972.
The other landing missions were Apollos 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17. Apollo 13 was supposed to be a landing mission but the accident prevented that from ocurring.
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first and second persons to ever walk on the surface of the moon. See the related link for more information.

The moon missions were funded with our tax dollars.
