Astronauts who flew around the Moon. Only 24 people, all American white males, have ever left low Earth orbit and flown to the Moon at least once, on Apollo 8, 10 and 13 (circumlunar flights) and Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 (lunar landing flights). Eight of them are still alive: Buzz Aldrin, William Anders, Charles Duke, Fred Haise, James Lovell, Harrison Schmitt, and David Scott. Seventeen have died: Neil Armstrong, Alan Bean, Frank Borman, Eugene Cernan, Michael Collins, Charles Conrad, Ron Evans, Richard Gordon, James Irwin, Ken Mattingly, Edgar Mitchell, Stuart Roosa, Alan Shepard, Thomas Stafford, John Swigert, Alfred Worden, and John Young.
Moonwalkers. Only 12 of the 24 circumlunar astronauts walked on the Moon. Four are still alive: Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11), David Scott (Apollo 15), Charles Duke (Apollo 16), and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17). Eight are no longer with us: Neil Armstrong (Apollo 11), Alan Bean (Apollo 12), Charles Conrad (Apollo 12), Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14), Alan Shepard (Apollo 14), James Irwin (Apollo 15), John Young (Apollo 16), and Gene Cernan (Apollo 17).
Multiple trips to the Moon. Three astronauts flew to the Moon twice: James Lovell (Apollo 8 and 13), John Young (Apollo 10 and 16) and Eugene Cernan (Apollo 10 and 17). Lovell was the only astronaut to fly twice to the Moon without ever setting foot there: Young and Cernan landed on the Moon during their second trips.
