  1. As of 2008, twelve people have walked on the Moon. No one has walked on the Moon since 1972.

    Name Born Age on

    1 Neil Armstrong 5 August 1930 38y 11m 15d Apollo 11 July 21, 1969 77

    2 Buzz Aldrin 20 January 1930 39y 6m 0d 78

    8 James Irwin 17 March 1930 41y 4m 14d died 8 August 1991, age 61

    9 John W. Young 24 September 1930 41y 6m 28d Apollo 16 April 21-23, 1972 77

    10 Charles Duke 3 October 1935 36y 6m 18d 72

    11 Eugene Cernan 14 March 1934 38y 9m 7d Apollo 17 December 11-14, 1972 74

    12 Harrison Schmitt 3 July 1935 37y 5m 8d 73

    Duke was the youngest, at age 36 (+6mo); Shepard was the oldest, at age 47 (+2mo).

    James A. Lovell, Young, and Cernan are the only three astronauts to fly more than one lunar mission (two each). Of these three, only Lovell did not walk on the lunar surface. Lovell and Fred Haise were prevented from walking on the Moon by the malfunction on Apollo 13 that resulted in the mission being aborted.

    Joe Engle had also trained to explore the Moon with Gene Cernan as the backup crew for Apollo 14, but Engle was later replaced by geologist Jack Schmitt when the primary crew for Apollo 17 was selected. Schmitt had been crewed with d**k Gordon in anticipation for Apollo 18. But when Apollo 18 was canceled, Schmitt bumped Engle, leaving Gordon as the last Apollo astronaut who had trained extensively for lunar exploration without ever getting a chance to fly a lunar landing.


  2. Charles "Pete" Conrad - Apollo 12. September 1969.

    Landed his LM within 500 yards of his intended landing space, the Surveyor Crater. Neil Armstrong missed his spot by 10-11 miles.

    His first words on the moon, "Whoopee!" (yes, check with NASA)

    He would also stay with NASA for the Skylab program in the 1970s.

    Mr. Conrad died July 8, 1999 from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident in Ojai, California.
