Yup
This got me thinking, I guessed right but A) couldn’t remember one of names, but knew it was him, if that makes sense, and B) had to look it up to be sure.
Two astronauts flew twice to the Moon but only landed once:
John W. Young (Apollo 10, Apollo 16)
Eugene A. Cernan (Apollo 10, Apollo 17)
This I didn’t know; Dave Scott flew twice on Apollo, the first one though was an Earth-orbital mission to test systems. Second mission, he walked there. The Hadley Rille mission is one of two I have a vivid memory of watching (the other being Apollo 11, duh) probably because it was August and I could just sit around and watch the TV coverage. There was a lot of interest in the Grand Rapids market after it faded out a lot in the US, possibly because Roger B. Chaffee of GR had died in the Apollo 1 fire.
David R. Scott (Apollo 9, Apollo 15)
