The first astronauts to go in a Apollo spacecraft after the fire were Walter Schirra, Walter Cunningham and a third astronaut to test the new craft after the fire. Walter Schirra becomes the only man to fly in a Mercury, Gemini and a Apollo spacecraft.
Gus Grissom is the only astronaut to have flown on Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo space missions. He was a highly experienced astronaut who tragically lost his life in the Apollo 1 mission fire in 1967.
No, Jack Swigert did not fly into space after Apollo 13. He was originally supposed to be the command module pilot for Apollo 13 but was replaced by Ken Mattingly due to concerns about Swigert's exposure to German measles. Swigert did not fly in space again and passed away in 1982.
Charles Conrad took a cassette tape with songs from various artists on Apollo 11. It included tracks from Dean Martin, The Beatles, and Merle Haggard. Music was a way for the astronauts to relax during their mission.
There was no Apollo 18 (the movie is fiction). The last Apollo mission to fly to the moon was Apollo 17. The final flight of Apollo hardware was the Apollo Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) flown in 1973, which never left Low Earth Orbit.
Deke Slayton was a member of the Mercury Seven astronauts but did not fly in the Mercury program due to a medical condition. He eventually flew in the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project mission as part of the U.S. crew, establishing cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union in space.
The one planted on the Moon by the Apollo astronauts.

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.
An Apollo spacecraft. As part of the Mercury project he was the first American in space.
Astronauts are people who fly in space

Only seven people were chosen for the Mercury program. Six out of the seven astronauts chosen had a Mercury flight. Deke Slayton was grounded because he had a heart problem (a heart murmur to be exact). He was able to fly as part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. here are the seven mermbers of the Mercury program: Alan Shepard jr. Gus Grissom John Glenn Jr. Scott Carpenter Walter Schirra jr. Gordon Cooper jr. Deke Slayton
Yes, astronauts can fly out here and there as they live in zero gravity in space.
Apollo 1. Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee all died in a cabin fire on the launch pad.
