The first of 12 humans to walk on the Moon were Neil Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin. Aldrin (Apollo 11), David Scott (Apollo 15), Charles Duke (Apollo 16), and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 16) are four of America's moonwalkers who are still alive (Apollo 17).
Between 1968 and 1972, 24 American astronauts made the journey from Earth to the Moon. James Lovell (Apollo 8 and Apollo 13), John Young (Apollo 10 and Apollo 16), and Gene Cernan (Apollo 10 and Apollo 16) were the only astronauts to go from Earth to the Moon twice (Apollo 10 and Apollo 17).
