All Apollo missions had a crew size of 3. The crew size of any spacecraft is limited by weight. The larger the crew the larger the craft needs to be and the larger the amount of consumables carried into space to keep the crew alive while off the earth must be. Eventually the weight of the spacefraft will be greater than the rocket lifting it off the Earth (or whatever planet it happens to be on) can handle. For the Apollo missions, the maximum crew size was 3.
