On the occasion of the death of Ken #Mattingly from #Apollo 16 https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10232048822072091 has compiled some stats:
Of 24 individual astronauts who went to the #Moon (three flew twice out to the Moon), nine are still with us (Borman, Lovell, Anders, Stafford, Aldrin, Haise, Scott, Duke, and Schmitt).
Of the 12 Moonwalkers, 4 are still living (Aldrin, Scott, Duke, Schmitt). With the passing of Mattingly, there are now no Command Module Pilots alive from the six successful lunar landing missions.
