RIP. Not many of the Apollo astronauts left.

I hope some of them will still be here to see us return to the moon.

I hope some of them will still be here to see us return to the moon.

Me too, I'd love to see how they react and think as we go back to the Moon. What is interesting is that there were three astronauts that flew to the Moon twice. Two of them landed on their second flight, John Young and Eugene Cernan from Apollo 10, Apollo 16 and 17 respectively. The last one, Jim Lovell, to me, he is the ultimate minority group, he made two trips to the Moon, Apollo 8 and 13 but never landed, the only one to do so.

I've met Lovell's nephew when I was a clerk as Macy's. For some reason I needed to see ID, store policy, and saw he was from Huntsville Alabama and his last name was Lovell. I asked for craps and giggle, you related to Jim Lovell, the astronaut, and he said, "yes, that's my uncle."
