>Truth be told, I think most people won't know the name or even Apollo 16, but will know Apollo 13.

To be fair, when I saw a headline on another service, it mentioned "Apollo 16," and I legitimacy thought it was about "Apollo 13," because that is the only Apollo I know.

You know Apollo 13 but not 11?

Yup. The crew and achievements of 11 are far more famous, but most people couldn't tell you which number their Apollo mission was.
