How many people on Apollo 17?
There were three people on every Apollo lunar mission. On Apollo 17, these were Eugene A. Cernan (Mission Commander), Harrison H. Schmitt (Lunar Module Pilot), and Ronald E. Evans (Command module pilot). As the command module remained in lunar orbit, Evans stayed in it while Schmitt and Cernan went to the surface in the Lunar Module (lander).
How many astronauts were there in Apollo 11?
Every manned Apollo mission carried a crew of three. For Apollos 7-17, they had the titles of Commander (CDR), Command Module Pilot (CMP) and Lunar Module Pilot (LMP). The Commander and Lunar Module Pilot flew the Lunar Module while the Command Module Pilot remained in the Command Module. "Lunar Module Pilot" was somewhat of a misnomer as the Commander actually piloted the LM while the LMP acted as a flight engineer on both the Command Module and Lunar Module. The Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz missions did not have a lunar module so the third crewmember had a different title (Science Pilot or Docking Module Pilot, respectively). The Apollo 11 crew consisted of CDR Neil Alden Armstrong, CMP Michael Collins and LMP Edwin Eugene 'Buzz' Aldrin, Jr. Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon while Collins remained in lunar orbit.
What are the names 12 people who went to the moon?
The twelve men who walked on the lunar surface were: From Apollo 11: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin Apollo 12: Alan Bean, Pete Conrad. Apollo 14: Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell. Apollo 15: James Irwin, David Scott Apollo 16: John Young, Charlie Duke Apollo 17: Harrison Schmitt, Gene Cernan

Names of people who went to the moon?
There have been six manned flights to the moon (Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15 16, and 17). All six flights were manned by three astronauts:The CommanderThe Command Module PilotThe Lunar Module pilot.The Commander and Lunar Module pilot made it all the way to the surface of the moon. The Command Module pilot remained with the Command Module orbiting the moonduring the lunar excursion. Apollo 11's crew was Neil Armstrong (Commander), Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin (Lunar Module pilot), and Michael Collins (Command Module pilot). Apollo 12's crew was Charles Conrad, Jr. (Commander), Alan LaVerne Bean (Lunar Module pilot) and Richard Gordon, Jr. (Command Module pilot). Apollo 14's crew was Alan Shepard (Commander), and Edgar Mitchell (Lunar Module Pilot), Stuart Roosa (Command Module pilot). Apollo 15's crew was David Scott (Commander), James Irwin (Lunar Module pilot), and Alfred Worden (Command Module Pilot). Apollo 16's crew was John Young (Commander), Charles Duke, Jr. (Lunar Module pilot), and Thomas Mattingly (Command Module pilot). Apollo 17's crew was Eugene Cernan (Commander), Dr Harrison Schmitt (Lunar Module Pilot), and Ronald Evans (Command Module Pilot). Neil Armstrong (Apollo 11's Commander) was the first person to walk on the moon. Alan Shepherd (Apollo 14's Commander) was America's first man into space. Dr Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17's Lunar Module Pilot) was the first scientist-astronaut to land on Moon - Dr Harrison Schmitt who received a Ph.D. in Geology from Harvard University in 1964

How many times American scientist went to moon by Apollo?
1, Harrison Schmitt was the Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 17.
Who stayed on the spaceship orbiting the Moon when answers to 1?
During the first lunar landing, by Apollo 11 in July 1969, Michael Collins was the pilot of the Command Module that orbited the moon, whilst Neil Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin landed on the lunar surface. There were five further successful lunar landings after Apollo 11: Apollo 12, in mid-November 1969, where Richard F. Gordon Jnr. was Command Module Pilot Apollo 14, in early February 1971, where Stuart A. Roosa piloted the Command Module Apollo 15, in late July 1971, where Alfred M. Worden was Command Module pilot Apollo 16, in the second part of April 1972, where Thomas A. Mattingley II was Command Module pilot Apollo 17, in mid-December 1972, where the Command Module was piloted by Ronald B. Evans Apollo 13 never made a lunar landing due to the nearly catastrophic disaster that befell the mission on the outward bound trip to the Moon, when an oxygen tank exploded. The main priority after that was to get back to Earth safely, so the ship made an orbit of the Moon in order to use the energy from this manoevure to 'sling-shot' the craft back towards Earth. However, the Command Module pilot on this ill-fated mission was John L. Swigert Jnr. Thomas Mattingley, who flew on the Apollo 16 mission, was originally scheduled as pilot for this trip, but was replaced by Swigert at the last minute.
Who was the lunar module pilot on Apollo 13?
The lunar module pilot on Apollo 13 was Astronaut Fred Haise, Jr. Apollo 13 lifted off on April 11, 1970 and returned on April 17, 1970. The crew spent time in the lunar module due to the oxygen vent not working.
When is the last time man set foot on the moon?
Apollo 17 landed on the moon on December 11, 1972, and departed on the 14th. The astronauts on Apollo 17 were Eugene A. Cernan, Harrison Schmitt, and Ronald E. Evans (Command Module pilot). Gene Cernan was the last man to walk on the moon.
how does Apollo 13 end?
