Apollo 18, 19, and 20's missions were cancelled because of the lack of funds so they decided to cancel those missions and save money.
It ended in December 1972 after Apollo 17.
The Apollo program was started by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, with the goal of landing a man on the Moon and bringing him back safely to Earth before the end of the decade.
The last lunar landing occurred in December, 1972. The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, a non moon mission, where an American Apollo capsule docked with a Russion Soyuz Capsule, took place in 1975.
The Gemini program came first. It was a precursor to the Apollo program and its main goal was to develop the techniques needed for the Apollo missions to the moon. The Apollo program followed the Gemini program and its main objective was to land humans on the moon and bring them back safely to Earth.
From Wikipedia:"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 on December 7, 1972, and concluded on December 19. As of 2008, it remains the most recent manned Moon landing"

The Russian space program that linked with the American Apollo spacecraft in space in 1975 was the Soviet Soyuz program. This joint mission was known as the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) and symbolized the end of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
The Gemini space program officially ended in 1966. Gemini was an intermediate space program conducted by NASA between the Mercury and Apollo programs, focusing on testing the capabilities necessary for the Apollo missions to the moon.
Apollo 1 was not an actual program, it was a scheduled mission as part of the Apollo Program. Apollo 1 had a scheduled launch date of February 21, 1967.
Directly following the end of the Apollo program was the Apollo Soyuz Test Program (ASTP) which, using Apollo flight hardware, performed the first international rendezvous and docking when the ASTP crew docked with a Russian Soyuz capsule. The next true program, one that required all new hardware, was the Shuttle Transport System, (STS). Also known as the Space Shuttle.
No, the Apollo Program was cancelled after the final moon landing (Apollo 17) in December 1972.
Project Apollo, also called the Apollo Program.
The US space program that sent astronauts to the moon was called the Apollo program. It was managed by NASA and consisted of a series of missions from 1961 to 1972, with Apollo 11 being the mission that successfully landed the first humans on the moon in 1969. The Apollo program aimed to achieve President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth before the end of the 1960s.
