Best Answer

It depends on the exact interpretation of the words in the question.

15 such flights have been made

Three-man Apollo 8 crew

Three-man Apollo 10 crew

Three-man Apollo 13 crew

Six individual flights by command module pilots on Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17

However, Jim Lovell counts for two of those (Apollos 8 and 13), while John Young and Eugene Cernan of Apollo 10 both later landed on Apollos 16 and 17 respectively.

Thus 15 such flights have been made by 14 astronauts, of whom two landed on the moon on later missions. Thus there are two possible answers:

14 people have made a trip to the moon which did not involve their landing on it.

12 people have made a trip to the moon without ever landing on it.

What airspeed do commercial airliners maintain when landing?

That really does depend on the aircrafts weight ( fuel and passengers or cargo ) and the actual type of aircraft being flown ( a Antonov may hit the tarmac at around 230 kts where as an Embraer my touch down at only 110 kts Approaches are usually flown at around 170-200 knots (again depending on the things mentioned above) Expect to be travelling at around 150-170 knots when you touch down
