The first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon was Apollo 8, which launched on December 21, 1968. It was the second manned mission in the Apollo program and made ten orbits around the moon before returning safely to Earth.
The second spaceship to land (or more accurately crash) on the moon was Ranger 7 - in July 1964. The second manned landing was Apollo 12; its codename was Intrepid.
