If Wikipedia is correct we landed on the Moon in 6 Appollo missions and the Russians landed there three times.
Apparently Apollo 12,14,15,16,17 and 18 were manned missions to the moon. | didn’t remember that many either but I remember several.

Anybody interested in the moon might want to check out the free downloadable World Wind Program. Its like Google Earth but it includes full zoomable models of Mars and the Moon too.
For any conspiracy theorists, you can look at the edges of the dark side and guess at what has been digitally removed.

Here's an example of the graphics

12 men have walked on the Moon. Apollo 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 ,16, and 17. Apollo 13 did not land on the Moon. After Apollo 17, the program was cut.
