Moon Men (Trailer)
Between 1968 and 1972, 24 American astronauts participated in NASA's Apollo program, with 12 of them walking on the lunar surface and others orbiting above. The first human to step onto the Moon was Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Over the next six missions, ten additional astronauts joined the ranks of lunar explorers, conducting scientific experiments, gathered rock samples, and expanded our understanding of the Moon's geology. As of August 2025, four Apollo moonwalkers remain alive: Buzz Aldrin, David Scott, Charles Duke, and Harrison Schmitt. Three astronauts journeyed from Earth to the Moon twice: James Lovell (Apollo 8 and Apollo 13; orbited, but never landed), John Young (Apollo 10, orbited; Apollo 16, landed), and Eugene Cernan (Apollo 10, orbited; Apollo 17, landed and last man on the Moon). Lunar orbiters played vital roles in the Apollo lunar missions, with key astronauts including Frank Borman, William A. Anders, James A. Lovell Jr., Thomas Stafford (Commander), John W. Young (orbital, later landed), Eugene Cernan (orbital, later landed), Michael Collins (Apollo 11), Richard F. Gordon Jr. (Apollo 12), James A. Lovell Jr., Fred W. Haise Jr., John L. Swigert Jr., Stuart A. Roosa (Apollo 14), Alfred M. Worden (Apollo 15), Thomas K. Mattingly II (Apollo 16), and Ronald E. Evans (Apollo 17). The Apollo lunar missions mark one of humanity's greatest achievements, as the men who walked on and orbited the Moon forged new frontiers, returning data and samples that continue to inform scientific understanding today.
