Not proper to name the Command Module (CM) of ‘Kitty Hawk’, but not the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), ‘Antares’. This was Alan Shepherd’s Apollo Mission and he was the oldest Moon Walker (to date) at age 47. He was also the first Moon Golfer although no one knows where his ‘2nd’ ball lies in the rough! FYI: some writer uses ‘infamous’ to describe this, I think they need remedial English!
Crew of Apollo 14;
Alan B Shepherd Jr (1923-1998) [Original 7] - Mission Commander - USN (Ret) R.Adm.,
Edgar D Mitchell (1930-2016) [NASA Class 5] - LEM Pilot - USN (ret) Captain,
Stuart A Roussa (1933-1994) [NASA Class 5] - CM Pilot - USAF (ret) Colonel.
Awesome Picture!
When I did my post on the Apollo 14 LEM and the Mission Crew, I was struck that they all had passed. Given that these were heroes of my youth, I have delved into seeing how many of the ‘Moonwalkers’ [12] and CM Pilots [6] & Non-Landers [9] are left alive. Given that the last Apollo Mission was 48 years ago (Apollo 17 (December 7–19, 1972)), it should not be surprising that few are left. This does not include Apollo 1, 7 or 9 as they did not get to the Moon.
01) Frank Frederick Borman II (March 14, 1928) - CircumLunar Apollo 8, OLDEST,
02) James Arthur Lovell Jr. (March 25, 1928) - Successful Failure Apollo 13,
03) Edwin Eugene ‘Buzz’ Aldrin Jr. (January 20, 1930) - #2 Moonwalker Apollo 11,
04) Thomas Patten Stafford (September 17, 1930) - LEM Pilot Non-Landing Apollo 10,
05) Michael Collins (October 31, 1930) - CM Pilot Apollo 11,
06) David Randolph Scott (June 6, 1932) - #7 Moonwalker Apollo 15,
07) William Alison Anders (October 17, 1933) - CircumLunar Apollo 8,
08) Thomas Kenneth Mattingly II (March 17, 1936) - CM Pilot Apollo 16,
09) Fred Wallace Haise Jr. (November 14, 1933) - Successful Failure Apollo 13,
10) Charles Moss Duke Jr. (October 3, 1935) - #10 Moonwalker Apollo 16, [Youngest].
Thus of the 27 who entered the gravity well of the Earth’s Moon, but 10 still survive with the youngest, Charles Duke Jr, at age 85. The Question asks itself, will they all be dead before the next human footprint on Earth’s Moon?
