The 24 astronauts who have flown to the Moon as part of NASA's Apollo program include notable figures like Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Charles Duke. Most flew on Apollo missions 11 through 17, with Apollo 13 experiencing a near-disaster but still returning safely. While only 12 astronauts have walked on the lunar surface, all 24 played a crucial role in lunar exploration. Their missions significantly advanced our understanding of space and science.
