The astronauts on the flight were Thomas Stafford, Deke Slayton, and Vance Brand. Deke Slayton had just been restored to flight status after being grounded for numerous years. This was his first flight in space. Tom Stafford flew Gemini 6, Gemini 9, and Apollo 10. He was to command the Soyuz-Apollo flight. Vance Brand was a rookie, so this was his first flight, along with Deke Slayton.
Eight Canadian astronauts have been to space on U. S. NASA Space Shuttles or Russian Soyuz rockets. These astronauts were Roberta Bondar, Marc Garneau, Steve MacLean, Robert Thirsk, Bjarni Tryggvason, Dave Williams, Julie Payette, and Chris Hadfield.
It is called the Apollo spacecraft.
As each Apollo spacecraft had three astronauts at a time and seven Apollo crafts flew to the moon, there were a total of 21 astronauts.
The astronauts of Apollo 11 were Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins
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
The astronauts of the Apollo-Soyuz mission did not land on the moon.
It was in a combined Apollo and soyuz space mission.

The Apollo-Soyuz mission flew in July, 1975.
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.
Yes; in 1975 the last Apollo mission was a join mission with a Soviet Soyuz

In the short term the primary taxi will be the fourth generation 'Russian Soyuz'. As a matter of fact, the Soyuz has been the primary means of transporting astronauts to ISS since 2003. The space shuttles primary role has been hauled up new modules/components for ISS assembly while also providing the occasional crew rotation.
Astronauts typically travel to the International Space Station (ISS) using a spacecraft, such as the Russian Soyuz or American SpaceX Crew Dragon. These spacecraft launch from Earth and dock with the ISS, where astronauts then transfer from the spacecraft to the station.
