NASA claims that several men landed on the Moon during past missions.

NOT BS — Verdict: True

The Short Version
NASA's official documentation unambiguously supports this claim. Multiple NASA sources — including mission pages and the Artemis program overview — confirm six crewed lunar landings between 1969 and 1972, with 12 astronauts walking on the Moon. Independent institutions such as the Smithsonian and the Canadian Space Agency corroborate these facts. The threshold of "several men" is easily met, and no credible evidence contradicts NASA's stated position.
Caveats
The word 'landed' could technically be interpreted to include crew members who orbited the Moon but did not walk on its surface (e.g., Michael Collins on Apollo 11), though the plain meaning clearly refers to those who reached the lunar surface.
The claim does not specify the exact number — 12 astronauts across six Apollo missions (Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17) — which would make it more precise.
