Neil Armstrong, on Apollo 11 who landed on the moon July 20th 1969. His co-pilot who was the second to walk on the moon was Edwin ("Buzz") Aldrin. The command module pilot (who stayed behind to man the ship in moon orbit) was Michael Collins.
However, the first manned spacecraft to reach the moon was Apollo 8 captained by Jim Lovell (who also captained the Apollo 13 mission and played by Tom Hanks in the film). This merely reached the moon and orbited, to test out the lunar msission equipment. Apollo 9 followed (but was a test mission in earth orbit only) and then Apollo 10 which also reached the moon, orbiting to find suitable landing sites for Apollo 11. Each Apollo craft were manned by three astronauts; the command module pilot who stayed in mood orbit to fly the command module, the mission captain and the lunar module pilot both of whom were destined to land on the moon from Apollo 11 onwards.
The Apollo missions finished after Apollo 17, and, at the end of these missions 12 men had walked on the moon, two from each Apollo (11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17). Apollo 13, of course, had an explosion on board and never landed on the moon. Instead the craft returned to earth in a huge rescue attempt. All three astronauts on board survived.
