(All of the Apollo missions went to the moon.) :p

I dispute this...

Apollo One never made it off the launch pad — fire.

Apollo Nine never left Earth orbit — did testing of the modules to be used on the Moon, but in Earth orbit.

I'll give you Apollo 9; touché.

Apollo 1 wasn't considered Apollo 1 until after the fire; it was named retroactively. (It was designated "AS-204" at the time of the fire.)

Apollo 7, 9, Skylab 2, 3, 4, & Apollo-Soyuz were all earth orbital flights. All the rest went to the moon.
