It was the person who closed the hatch of Apollo 11.
No. The Apollo 1 crew were killed in a fire weeks before launch.

Apollo 1
Apollo 1 was a mission that failed before it even began. The spacecraft and her crew were destroyed by fire while on the launchpad weeks before the vehicle was scheduled for launch.
There was a planned Apollo 1 mission, however there was a fire during a routine test a few weeks before launch and all three crew members were killed.
Apollo 1 was the name of the first mission of NASA's Apollo program. The mission ended when the command module and the crew were destroyed in a fire during a routine test weeks before launch.
Apollo 1 did not launch. There was a cabin fire that killed all three crew members.
The backup crew for Apollo 11 was James Lovell (CDR), Fred Haise (LMP) and Ken Mattingly (CMP). They later became the prime crew for Apollo 13, though Mattingly was removed from the Apollo 13 crew a few days before launch due to exposure to measles. Jack Swigert, Apollo 13 backup CMP, replaced him. Mattingly later filled what would likely have been Swigert's originally-planned seat on Apollo 16.
Well, the Apollo 1 didn't even launch. During a launch pad test, the cabin caught fire (don't know how though) and all crew members died.
Alan Shepard and his crew was supposed to fly Apollo 13, but he got an ear infection close to the launch, so the crew of Apollo 14 were moved up a place allowing Alan Shepard to fly Apollo 14. The reason the whole crew switched was because they trained with each other and were put together to compliment each others skills.
