EVA time

[edit]

There seems to be an error in the article - the sidebar claims an EVA time figure that is less that that recorded in the main text. I've no idea which is the correct figure.

A sad loss of another hero. He may not have stepped on the moon, but he was part of the entire American space program that accomplished this feat, and for that, in my book, he's a hero. By the way, there have been a number of news stories reporting his death, that have stated that he was one of a dozen men who went around the moon but didn't land. At first I thought that the count was a bit off. But then when I looked at all the applicable Apollo missions, 8 through 17, excepting 9, there were indeed 15 occurrences of this situation. However, it does work out to be 12 separate men who did it. The reason for this is that one man, Jim Lovell, did it twice, while two others, John Young & Gene Cernan, each did it once, but then landed on a later mission.):

Apollo 8 - 3 (Borman, Lovell, Anders)

Apollo 10 - 3 (Stafford, Young, Cernan)

Apollo 11 - 1 (Collins)

Apollo 12 - 1 (Gordon)

Apollo 13 - 3 (Lovell, Swigert, Haise)

Apollo 14 - 1 (Roosa)

Apollo 15 - 1 (Worden)

Apollo 16 - 1 (Mattingly)

Apollo 17 - 1 (Evans)
