Apollo 1 was never launched as there was a accident , a fire in which all three astronauts were killed due to a fire.
The last Apollo mission was Apollo 17, which launched in December 1972. It was the final mission in NASA's Apollo program and the only one to include a geologist, Harrison Schmitt, among its crew. Apollo 17 successfully landed on the moon, allowing astronauts to conduct extensive exploration and scientific research.
Apollo 7 launched from the Air Force Station's launch pad LC-34 (this was the only Apollo mission that did not launch from Kennedy Space Center's launch pad 39-A)
Yes, Apollo 13 was the only aborted mission.
The first Apollo mission was Apollo 7, launched on October 11, 1968. It was an Earth-orbiting mission to test the Apollo command and service module. The crew spent 11 days in space and successfully carried out a series of tests and maneuvers essential for the Apollo program.
The first astronauts to go in a Apollo spacecraft after the fire were Walter Schirra, Walter Cunningham and a third astronaut to test the new craft after the fire. Walter Schirra becomes the only man to fly in a Mercury, Gemini and a Apollo spacecraft.

The Apollo 17 launch and mission was perfect! Video of the (only) night launch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzGfKU3jVDY

No. This was a test mission and never intended for a trip to the moon. They only orbited the earth.
No spaceships were launched, only the lunar module was used.
no
Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon, with Buzz Aldrin being the second, on July 20, 1969 (US time). But they were on the Apollo 11 mission, not Apollo 13. Apollo 13, launched on April 11, 1970, had an onboard explosion that prevented a lunar landing. Instead, they circled the Moon and safely returned to Earth. It was the only inflight failure of the 9 Apollo missions to the Moon.
All three Apollo astronauts were aboard for several orbits, but Michael Collins remained aboard the command module when the Lunar Module descended to the Moon. Technically Apollo 2 was the first flight of the Apollo Missions, however i was only a test flight with no humans and never left Earths orbit. Apollo 7 was the first manned Apollo mission but they never left Earths orbit either. The first Apollo mission to actually orbit the moon was the crew of Apollo 8 (Lovell, Anders and Borman). If you mean by first Apollo flight that landed on the moon then Apollo 11 is the mission with Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins. Hard to believe I only have 6 trust points!!!
There was only one Apollo mission in 1970: Apollo 13. As it failed to land on the Moon, all missions where suspended until the Apollo 13 event was investigated and the origin of the problem, corrected.
