Michael Collins stayed in orbit around the Moon in the command module. Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin went to the surface and walked on the Moon.
Indeed. In 1969, the Apollo mission landed on the moon, and Neil Armstrong was the first person to step onto the moon.
Only twelve people have walked on the Moon. Six manned missions in NASA's Apollo program reached the Moon between 1969 and 1972, with two astronauts exploring the lunar surface on each mission. Neil Armstrong was the first (to set foot) on July 20, 1969 (Apollo 11). Gene Cernan was the last (to step off) on Dec 14, 1972 (Apollo 17). (see related question)
There were a total of 11 Apollo missions, from Apollo 7 to Apollo 17. Neil Armstrong was the first man to land on the moon.
Yes. As well as the video evidence the astronauts brought back moon rocks for scientists to analyse. They left a gold plaque with a quote on and the bottom half of the lunar lander both of which are still on the moon. They should be easy to find with a probe or if astronauts go again in the future and can corroborate the astronauts story.
Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969, as part of the Apollo 11 mission led by NASA. He famously described the event with the words: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
NASA swings Apollo 13 around the Moon to return it to Earth.
There were three astronauts on Apollo 11. Neil Armstrong was the first to step on the moon; Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin accompanied him to the surface in the Lunar Module, and Michael Collins remained in orbit in the Command Module.

Samuel Adams. 2nd man to step foot on the moon. Buzz Aldrin & Neil Armstrong were on the Apollo 11 space flight to the moon. Flight Commander Neil Armstrong was the 1st man to walk on the moon. Buzz Aldrin was the 2nd man to step on the moon.

It depends on what you mean but "gone to the moon." All manned lunar missions had three astronauts on board. Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders were the first men to visit the moon on Apollo 8. The orbited the moon and returned without landing. Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin on Apollo 11 actually landed in the Lunar Module. Armstrong and Aldrin were the first men to step onto the moon -- Collins stayed in the Apollo Command Module orbiting the moon.
The Gemini missions are called the bridge to the moon because they served as a crucial step in NASA's goal of landing astronauts on the moon. These missions helped develop and test the necessary technology and techniques, such as spacewalks and orbital rendezvous, that would later be used during the Apollo missions to reach the moon. Gemini missions also allowed astronauts to stay in space for longer durations, helping pave the way for the extended Apollo missions.
Yes, humans have landed on the moon. The first successful manned moon landing was achieved by NASA's Apollo 11 mission in 1969, with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin becoming the first humans to set foot on the lunar surface. Subsequent Apollo missions also successfully landed astronauts on the moon.
