No one who is black has yet to walk on the moon. Only 12 men have ever walked on the moon. These are:
Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin (Apollo11)
Pete Conrad, Alan Bean (Apollo 12)
Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14)
David Scott, James Irwin (Apollo 15)
John Young, Charles Duke (Apollo 16)
Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17).
All were white (Caucasian) by race. This was not a delberate racist decision, but all candidates were selected for training from the U.S. military. Some, like Neil Armstrong, were high-ranking pilots who had proved themselves in difficult situations. They had the right temperament, were often decorated for military service and were extremely intelligent and competent in their work. Sadly, in those days, it was much more difficult for someone who was black or Asian to rise through the ranks in the military - and fewer black or Asian people were recruited in the first place anyway. So it meant that no black people were eligible to be selected for astronaut training. Matters have now changed of course, and hopefully if the lunar program is to be resurrected (and perhaps a trip to Mars, too), then more black and Asian people will put themselves forward for selection - and actually be in a position to "make the grade" and get on a launch team.
