Editing List of Apollo astronauts

[[File:NASA Apollo 17 Lunar Roving Vehicle.jpg|right|thumb|220px|[[Eugene Cernan]] operating the [[Lunar Roving Vehicle]] during [[Apollo 17]]]]

Thirty-two [[astronauts]] were assigned to fly in the [[Apollo program|Apollo manned lunar landing program]]. Of these, twenty-four left [[Earth]]’s orbit and flew around the [[Moon]] on nine missions. (Of the other manned missions, [[Apollo 1]] did not launch and [[Apollo 7]] and [[Apollo 9]] were [[low Earth orbit]] spacecraft testing missions.) In addition, nine astronauts flew Apollo spacecraft in the Apollo Applications Programs [[Skylab]] and [[Apollo–Soyuz Test Project]].

Twelve of these astronauts walked on the Moon’s surface, and six of those drove [[Lunar Roving Vehicle]]s on the Moon. While three astronauts flew to the Moon twice, none of them landed on the Moon more than once. The nine Apollo missions to the Moon occurred between December 1968 and December 1972.

Apart from these 24 people who visited the Moon, no human being has gone beyond [[low Earth orbit]]. They have, therefore, been farther from the Earth than anyone else. They are also the only people to have directly viewed the [[far side of the Moon]]. The 12 who walked on the Moon are the only people ever to have set foot on an [[astronomical object]] other than the Earth.

Of the 24 astronauts who flew to the Moon, two went on to command a Skylab mission, one commanded Apollo–Soyuz, one flew as commander for [[approach and landing tests]] of the [[Space Shuttle]], and two went on to command orbital Space Shuttle missions. A total of 24 NASA astronauts from the Apollo era flew on the Space Shuttle.

==Prime crew members==

NASA's Director of Flight Crew Operations during the [[Project Gemini|Gemini]] and Apollo programs was [[Deke Slayton|Donald K. "Deke" Slayton]], one of the original [[Mercury Seven]] astronauts, who was medically grounded in September 1962 due to a minor cardiac arrythmia - paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Slayton was responsible for making all Gemini and Apollo crew assignments. In March 1972, Slayton was restored to flight status, and flew on the 1975 [[Apollo–Soyuz Test Project]] mission.

The prime crew members selected for actual missions are here grouped by their NASA astronaut selection groups, and within each group in the order selected for flight.

===From the Mercury Seven===

* [[Gus Grissom|Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom]] – Pilot of [[Liberty Bell 7]] and commander of the first manned [[Gemini 3]], was selected in 1966 to command the first manned mission, [[Apollo 1]], a low Earth orbit test of the [[Apollo Command/Service Module]]. This mission ended a month before its scheduled launch,<ref name="MarAprChron">[[George E. Mueller]], Associate Administrator of the Office of Manned Spaceflight, issued a directive on April 24, 1967, that the mission would be officially recorded as Apollo 1, "first manned Apollo Saturn flight - failed on ground test."

* [[Wally Schirra|Walter M. Schirra, Jr.]] – Pilot of [[Mercury-Atlas 8|Sigma 7]] and commander of [[Gemini 6A]], was selected to command a second CSM test flight which was canceled in late 1966, at which time he was reassigned as Grissom's backup. Twenty-one months after the Apollo 1 fire, Schirra commanded the first CSM test flight, [[Apollo 7]]. He was the only member of the "Mercury seven" to fly on all three programs.
* [[Alan Shepard|Alan B. Shepard, Jr.]] – America's first man in space on [[Freedom 7]] was originally selected to command Gemini 3, but was medically grounded for the duration of Gemini due to [[Ménière's disease]] and assisted Slayton in Flight Operations. After corrective surgery, Shepard was restored to flight status and commanded [[Apollo 14]], the third successful Moon landing mission.

===From [[Astronaut Group 2]]===
[[File:S62-6759.jpg|thumb|NASA Astronaut Group 2: Back row: Elliot M. See (died in Gemini training), McDivitt, Lovell, White, & Stafford. Front row: Conrad, Borman, Armstrong, & Young]]
All of these astronauts had flown on Gemini, and except for White, each commanded one Gemini and one Apollo mission:

* [[Edward Higgins White|Edward H. White II]] – Second-seat veteran of [[Gemini 4]] who made the United States' first [[extravehicular activity|walk in space]], selected as Senior Pilot (second seat) on Apollo 1. White was killed with Grissom and Chaffee in the fire.
* [[James McDivitt|James A. McDivitt]] – Commander of Gemini 4, selected in late 1966 to command the first Earth orbital flight test of the [[Apollo Lunar Module]] with the CSM. This mission flew in March 1969 as [[Apollo 9]]. After his flight, McDivitt was promoted to Manager of Lunar Landing Operations, and in August 1969 was promoted to Manager of the Apollo Spacecraft Program.
* [[Frank Borman|Frank F. Borman II]] – Commander of [[Gemini 7]], selected to command a higher Earth orbit test of the complete Apollo spacecraft. But when delays prevented the LM from being ready in time for its first flight in December 1968, Borman's mission was changed to the first lunar orbital flight of the CSM on [[Apollo 8]].
* [[Jim Lovell|James A. Lovell, Jr.]] – Second-seat veteran of Gemini 7, and commander of [[Gemini 12]], flew as Command Module Pilot (second seat) on Apollo 8. Lovell became the first to fly a second Apollo mission as commander of [[Apollo 13]], the third lunar landing attempt. This mission was unsuccessful, due to a Service Module electrical system failure caused by the explosion of an oxygen tank. Lovell and his crew managed to return to Earth safely.
* [[Thomas P. Stafford]] – Second-seat veteran of Gemini 6A and commander of [[Gemini 9A]], commanded a lunar orbital test of the Lunar Module on [[Apollo 10]].
* [[John Young (astronaut)|John W. Young]] – Second-seat veteran of Gemini 3 and commander of [[Gemini 10]], flew as Command Module Pilot on Apollo 10. Young later commanded the successful [[Apollo 16]] lunar landing. He also commanded the first Space Shuttle flight, STS-1 Columbia, on April 12, 1981.
* [[Neil Armstrong|Neil A. Armstrong]] – Commander of [[Gemini 8]], commanded [[Apollo 11]], becoming the first man to set foot on the Moon.
* [[Pete Conrad|Charles "Pete" Conrad, Jr.]] – Second-seat veteran of [[Gemini 5]] and commander of [[Gemini 11]], commanded [[Apollo 12]], the second lunar landing.

===From [[Astronaut Group 3]]===
[[File:Astronaut Group Three - GPN-2000-001476.jpg|right|thumb|NASA Astronaut Group 3]]
This was the first class of astronauts for which test pilot experience was not required, but military jet fighter pilot experience was acceptable.

Five of this group got their first spaceflight experience as second seat on Gemini:
* [[David Scott|David R. Scott]] – Second-seat veteran of [[Gemini 8]], flew as Command Module Pilot on [[Apollo 9]], and commanded the [[Apollo 15]] lunar landing.
* [[Eugene Cernan|Eugene A. Cernan]] – Second-seat veteran on [[Gemini 9A]], flew as Lunar Module Pilot on [[Apollo 10]], and commanded the final lunar landing mission [[Apollo 17]].
* [[Michael Collins (astronaut)|Michael Collins]] – Second-seat veteran on [[Gemini 10]], flew as Command Module Pilot on [[Apollo 11]].
* [[Buzz Aldrin|Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr]] – Second-seat veteran on [[Gemini 12]], flew as Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 11, the first Moon landing.
* [[Richard F. Gordon, Jr.]] – Second-seat veteran on [[Gemini 11]], flew as Command Module Pilot on [[Apollo 12]]. Gordon was selected to command the Apollo 18 lunar landing, which was later cancelled.

The remaining six members of this group were selected for their first space flights on Apollo:
* [[Roger B. Chaffee]] – Selected as Pilot (third seat) on Apollo 1, was killed with Grissom and White in the fire.
* [[Donn F. Eisele]] – Flew second seat on [[Apollo 7]].
* [[Walter Cunningham|R. Walter Cunningham]] – Flew third seat on Apollo 7.
* [[Rusty Schweickart|Russell L. "Rusty" Schweickart]] – Flew as Lunar Module Pilot on [[Apollo 9]]. Schweickart performed an [[extravehicular activity|EVA]] outside the spacecraft, testing the [[Portable Life Support System]] used on the Moon.
* [[William Anders|William A. Anders]] – Flew third seat on [[Apollo 8]].
* [[Alan Bean|Alan L. Bean]] – Flew as Lunar Module Pilot on [[Apollo 12]].

===From [[NASA Astronaut Group 4|Astronaut Group 4]]===
[[File:PORTRAIT - SCIENTIST-ASTRONAUT GROUP.jpg|thumb|Dr. Harrison Schmitt (seated, center) became NASA's first scientist astronaut to fly in space.]]
In June 1965, NASA named a group of five scientist astronauts, the first group qualified by doctorate degrees rather than test or military fighter pilot experience.<ref>Note: Edwin Aldrin and Eugene Cernan were selected for Group 3 without having been test pilots, though both were fighter pilots in the Air Force and Navy respectively.</ref>  Geologist Dr. [[Harrison Schmitt|Harrison H. "Jack" Schmitt]] participated heavily in the geological training of the lunar landing astronauts, as well as assisting in the analysis of returned samples and the preparation of mission reports. In 1970, he was selected as Lunar Module Pilot for the Apollo 15 backup crew, and prime crew on Apollo 18. When program cutbacks cancelled missions 18 through 20, NASA's lunar geological community insisted on having a geologist on the Moon, so Slayton reassigned Schmitt to [[Apollo 17]].

===From [[NASA Astronaut Group 5|Astronaut Group 5]]===
[[File:NASA Astronaut Group 5.jpg|thumb|NASA Astronaut Group 5]]
NASA named a group of 19 more astronauts in April 1966.  None had spaceflight experience before their Apollo mission.
* [[Ken Mattingly|T. Kenneth Mattingly II]] – Selected as prime Command Module Pilot for Apollo 13, Mattingly was exposed to [[German measles]] days before the flight and was grounded by the flight surgeon. He swapped places with his backup and flew on [[Apollo 16]].
* [[Jack Swigert|John L. "Jack" Swigert, Jr.]] – Flew as Mattingly's backup on [[Apollo 13]].
* [[Fred Haise|Fred W. Haise, Jr.]] – Flew as Lunar Module Pilot on the unsuccessful Apollo 13. Haise was selected to command the Apollo 19 lunar landing, which was later cancelled.
* [[Stuart Roosa|Stuart A. Roosa]] – Command Module Pilot on [[Apollo 14]]
* [[Edgar Mitchell|Edgar D. Mitchell]] – Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 14
* [[Alfred Worden|Alfred M. Worden]] – Command Module Pilot on [[Apollo 15]]
* [[James Irwin|James B. Irwin]] – Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 15
* [[Charles Duke|Charles M. Duke, Jr.]] – First achieved public recognition as [[capsule communicator]] during the Apollo 11 Moon landing; notable for the quote: "...we copy you on the ground. You've got a bunch of guys about to turn blue; we're breathing again. Thanks a lot."<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.footagevault.com/project-mocr-apollo-11|title= Footagevault, Project MOCR}}</ref> Duke flew as Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 16.
* [[Ronald Evans (astronaut)|Ronald E. Evans, Jr.]] – Command Module Pilot on [[Apollo 17]].

==Other astronauts who trained for Apollo but did not fly==
* [[Gordon Cooper|L. Gordon Cooper]] – from the Mercury Seven; veteran of Mercury [[Faith 7]] and commander of [[Gemini 5]], was replaced as Apollo 14 commander by Alan Shepard and resigned from NASA in 1970.
* [[Clifton Williams|Clifton C. Williams]] – from Group 3; was named as Schweickart's Lunar Module Pilot backup crew, but was killed in a [[Northrop T-38 Talon|T-38]] plane crash near Tallahassee, Florida on October 5, 1967. He was replaced with Bean, who flew on [[Apollo 12]].
* [[Edward Givens|Edward G. Givens, Jr]] – from Group 5; was on the support crew of [[Apollo 7]], but died in a car crash near Houston, Texas on June 6, 1967.
* [[Joe Engle|Joseph H. Engle]] – from Group 5; was originally named as [[Apollo 17]] Lunar Module Pilot, but lost his slot to Schmitt. After Apollo, he flew in the [[Space Shuttle]] [[Approach and Landing Tests]], then commanded [[STS-2]] and [[STS-51I]].

On each of the Apollo 17 [[extravehicular activity|extravehicular activities (EVAs)]], [[Harrison Schmitt]] was the second person out of, and the first person back into, the [[Apollo Lunar Module|lunar module]]. Schmitt is thus the 12th and last person to have stepped onto the Moon. [[Eugene Cernan]], as the second person to enter the lunar module on the final EVA, is the last person to have walked on the Moon.

[[Alan Shepard]] was the oldest person to walk on the Moon, at age 47 years and 79 days. [[Charles Duke|Charlie Duke]] was the youngest, at age 36 years and 201 days.

[[Jim Lovell]] and [[Fred Haise]] were scheduled to walk on the Moon during the [[Apollo 13]] mission, but the lunar landing was aborted following a major malfunction en route to the Moon. Haise was again scheduled to walk on the Moon as commander of [[Canceled Apollo missions#Cancellations|Apollo 19]], but [[Canceled Apollo missions#Cancellations|Apollo 18]] and Apollo 19 were canceled on September 2, 1970.

[[Joe Engle]] had trained on the backup crew for [[Apollo 14]] to explore the Moon with Cernan, but Engle was replaced by Schmitt on the primary crew for [[Apollo 17]]. Schmitt had previously been crewed with [[Apollo 12]] [[Apollo Command/Service Module#Command Module .28CM.29|command module]] pilot [[Richard F. Gordon, Jr.|Dick Gordon]] in anticipation of Apollo 18, but Schmitt replaced Engle on Apollo 17 after the cancellation of Apollo 18 and Apollo 19, leaving Gordon as the last Apollo astronaut to train extensively for lunar exploration without ever landing on the Moon.

==Apollo astronauts who flew to the Moon without landing==
Besides the 12 people who have walked on the Moon, 12 more have flown to within 0.001 [[lunar distance (astronomy)|lunar distance]] of its surface. During each of the six missions with successful lunar landings, one astronaut remained in lunar orbit while the other two landed. In addition, the three-person crews of [[Apollo 8]] and [[Apollo 10]] also entered lunar orbit, and the crew of [[Apollo 13]] looped around the Moon on a [[free return trajectory|free-return trajectory]].

All nine manned missions to the Moon took place as part of the [[Apollo program]] over a period of just under four years, from 21 December 1968 to 19 December 1972. Of the 24 people who have flown to the Moon, 16 are still living {{As of|2016|lc=y}}.

[[Jim Lovell]], [[John Young (astronaut)|John Young]], and [[Eugene Cernan]] are the only three people to have flown to the Moon twice. Young and Cernan each set foot on it during their respective second lunar missions, while Lovell is the only person to have flown to the Moon twice without landing.

During Cernan's first lunar mission on Apollo 10, he tied the present record set by [[William Anders|Bill Anders]] on Apollo 8 as the youngest person to fly to the Moon. Each was 35 years and 65 days old on his launch date and 35 years and 68 days old when he entered lunar orbit. The oldest person to fly to the Moon was [[Alan Shepard]], who walked on its surface during the [[Apollo 14]] mission. Shepard was 47 years and 74 days old on his launch date and 47 years and 78 days old when he entered lunar orbit.

Because of Apollo 13's free-return trajectory, Lovell, [[Jack Swigert]] and [[Fred Haise]] flew higher above the Moon's [[selenographic coordinates|180° meridian]] (opposite Earth) than anyone else has flown (254&nbsp;km/158&nbsp;mi). Coincidentally, due to the Moon's distance from Earth at the time, they simultaneously set the present record for humans' greatest distance from Earth, reaching an altitude of 400,171&nbsp;km (248,655&nbsp;mi) above sea level at 0:21 UTC on 15 April 1970.
