Apollo astronauts
« on: November 05, 2023, 11:10:33 AM »
I saw thus elsewhere and was reminded that due tk the radiation belt and the giant conspiracy about not having reached the moon that in all Sassability none of these people are actually still alive.


'With the passing of astronaut TK Mattingly, I just did some stats related to the remaining Apollo astronauts.

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, four are still living (Aldrin, Scott, Duke, Schmitt).

From the nine Apollo lunar flights, four Commanders are still alive (Borman - Apollo 8, Stafford - Apollo 10, Lovell - Apollo 13, Scott - Apollo 15).

From the six successful lunar landing missions, only one Commander is still living (David Scott - Apollo 15).

With the passing of Mattingly, there are now no Command Module Pilots alive from the six successful lunar landing missions, but from those missions there are three Lunar Module Pilots (LMPs) still with us from Apollo 11 (Aldrin), 16 (Duke) & 17 (Schmitt). Fred Haise, still very much active, was the Apollo 13 LMP, but didn't get to land on the Moon :(

The only full Apollo crew still alive is that from the Apollo 8 mission to orbit the Moon: Frank Borman (95), James Lovell (95 - 11 days younger than Borman), and William Anders (90).

Of the 11 Apollo missions flown with crews (Apollo 7 to 17), no crew members are left from Apollo 7, 12 or 14.

Oldest Apollo astronaut - Frank Borman - 95 (actually, the oldest space traveler still living).

Youngest Apollo lunar mission astronaut - Charlie Duke - 88

Youngest Apollo astronaut - Russell Schweickart (Apollo 9 Earth-orbital mission) - 88 (22 days younger than Charlie Duke)

Don't really understand the first sentence.

Sassy, once of this parish, believed that there was no moon landing because of the radiation belt, and that the not actual astronauts were all either lying or being killed off because of a huge conspiracy. See thread linked to below. 'Tk' should read 'to' , 'thus' 'this'

Thanks for reminding me of that thread NS - I re-read the first two pages and had forgotten how utterly bizarre this place used to be: what a hoot, and it cheered me up no end.
