The Apollo program sent astronauts to the Moon from 1968 to 1972, with the first landing made by Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969. No human has been to the Moon since 1972.
The first men to enter lunar orbit were US astronauts Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders. They did so on Christmas Eve 1968 in their ship Apollo 8.
The two major successes of the Apollo program were the successful orbit of the Moon by Apollo 8 (Christmas Eve, 1968) and the successful lunar landing by Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969. During the latter, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon. Ten other astronauts explored the Moon between 1969 and 1972.
The first rockets to send people to the moon were in December 1968 on Apollo 8. Those astronauts were not due to land on the moon, just to test if they could reach it and get back. Apollo 10 did similar work in 1969. The first to land on the moon were astronauts from Apollo 11 in July 1969.
