Jim lovell has been in space four times, twice in the Gemini spacecraft and twice in the Apollo spacecraft. He also becomes the first man to fly twice around the moon , and still not put his foot on the lunar surface.
Jim Arthur Lovell, Jr. born March 25,1928 was an Astronaunt. Noted for being the Commander of the Apollo 13 Flight. He is on the list of 24 people who have flown to the Moon, and the First of 3 people to have flown there twice. He is the only person to fly to the moon twice and not land. And he is the First person to fly in space four times.
As he was the commander of the craft, Frank Frederick Borman, II is recorded as the first man to fly around the Moon.The others on board Apollo 8 with him were Jim Lovell and Bill Anders.
Apollo 11 Incorrect, it is The Soviet Union's Luna missions which included Luna 1, fly by Luna 2, crashed into surface Luna 3, Landed on moon Then came: Apollo 8, fly by Apollo 11, landed on moon
It is estimated that about 400,000 people worked in the space program to fly the 6 Apollo missions that landed on the moon to the moon.
Apollo 13

Shuttles have only been designed to be in low earth orbit and do not have the capability to go to the moon. The Apollo missions were the ones that traveled to the moon, and there have been no lunar missions since 1973.
Neil Armstrong didn't "cut in front of" anyone for either of his space missions, Apollo 11 or his lesser-known first space flight, Gemini VIII. Apollo crews were assigned by the head of the astronaut office, Deke Slayton - himself an astronaut who had been grounded by a heart condition. Slayton set up a standard rotation whereby a crew that had been backup for one Apollo mission became the prime flight crew three missions later. Armstrong had been backup commander for the Apollo 8 mission, so by the normal crew rotation he became the prime commander of the Apollo 11 mission. Buzz Aldrin had been backup Command Module Pilot for Apollo 8, so he was also in the regular rotation for Apollo 11. Michael Collins, Command Module Pilot on Apollo 11, had originally been scheduled to fly on Apollo 8 but was replaced by Jim Lovell due to surgery. So he was given the opportunity to fly on Apollo 11.

The crew of Apollo 8 is as follows: Commander: Frank Borman Lunar Module Pilot: William Anders Command Module Pilot: James Lovell Lovell was the only one of the 3 men to fly after Apollo 8. Lovell was scheduled to land on the moon on the Apollo 13 flight. The landing was cancelled after an oxygen tank exploded halfway to the moon. The astronauts were within a few hours of running out of oxygen when they landed in the Pacific Ocean 3 days after the explosion.
The only astronaunt that went to the moon twice is James Lovell. He was on the crew of both Apollo 8 and Apollo 13, and would have landed had they not had the mishap that wrecked the mission. He was fortunate to have returned to earth safely. Actually Jim Lovell was NOT the only astronaut to go to the moon twice - there were two others! - John Young went twice - as CM pilot on Apollo 10 and as commander of Apollo 16. - Gene Cernan also went twice - as LM pilot on Apollo 10 and as commander of Apollo 17.
Well, The crew that was supposed to go on Apollo 13 was Alan Sheppard's crew, but he got an ongoing ear infection so he and his crew got bumped. Afterwards, Jim Lovell and his crew (Fred Haise, and Ken Mattingly) were assigned for the Apollo 13 mission, but because the doctors thought Ken Mattingly was going to have the measles, he got bumped from the mission and was replaced with Jack Swigert. Hope this helps! :)
None. The moon missions were launched by a Saturn 5 rocket carrying an Apollo space capsule. The space shuttles were used for earth orbit missions.
