Apollo 8 was the first manned mission to orbit the moon. The crew members were Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, Jr., William A. Anders. The first time man stepped on the surface of the moon was during Apollo 11. Flight Commander Neil Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the lunar surface. Air Force Colonel Edwin Aldrin later accompanied him. The last of the crew, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michael Collins, stayed in the command module.
Apollo 11 was the flight that landed the first two people on the moon on July 20, 1969. The astronauts were Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.
The first manned flight was on April 12th 1961 with Yuri Gagarin. The first man landing on the Moon was on July 20th 1969. So it was a bit under 8 years.
The moon
People first landed on the moon on July 20, 1969 during the Apollo 11 mission.
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!!!
