== Apollo astronauts who flew to the Moon without landing ==
Besides the 12 people who have walked on the Moon, 12 more have flown to within 0.001 [[lunar distance (astronomy)|lunar distance]] of its surface. {{As of|2024|11}}, two of them are alive with an average age of {{Rounddown|(0

years. During each of the six missions with successful lunar landings, one astronaut remained in lunar orbit while the other two landed. In addition, the three-person crews of [[Apollo 8]] and [[Apollo 10]] also entered lunar orbit, and the crew of [[Apollo 13]] looped around the Moon on a [[free-return trajectory]].

All nine crewed missions to the Moon took place as part of the [[Apollo program]] over a period of just under four years, from 21 December 1968 to 19 December 1972. The 24 people who have flown to the Moon are the only people who have traveled beyond [[low Earth orbit]].

[[Jim Lovell]], [[John Young (astronaut)|John Young]], and [[Eugene Cernan]] are the only three people to have flown to the Moon twice. Young and Cernan each set foot on it during their respective second lunar missions, while Lovell is the only person to have flown to the Moon twice without landing.

During Cernan's first lunar mission on Apollo 10, he tied the present record set by [[Bill Anders]] on Apollo 8 as the youngest person to fly to the Moon. Each was 35 years and 65 days old on his launch date and 35 years and 68 days old when he entered lunar orbit. The oldest person to fly to the Moon was [[Alan Shepard]], who walked on its surface during the [[Apollo 14]] mission. Shepard was 47 years and 74 days old on his launch date and 47 years and 78 days old when he entered lunar orbit.

[[Jim Lovell]] and [[Fred Haise]] were scheduled to walk on the Moon during the [[Apollo 13]] mission, but the lunar landing was aborted following a major malfunction en route to the Moon.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Tate|first1=Karl|date=April 13, 2015|title=How Apollo 13's Dangerous Survival Mission Worked (Infographic)|url=https://www.space.com/29078-how-apollo-13-moon-accident-worked-infographic.html|access-date=February 21, 2019|publisher=Space.com}}</ref> Haise was again scheduled to walk on the Moon as commander of Apollo 19, but [[Canceled Apollo missions#Follow-on lunar missions|Apollo 18 and Apollo 19 were canceled]] on September 2, 1970. Because of Apollo 13's free-return trajectory, Lovell, Swigert and Haise flew higher above the Moon's [[selenographic coordinates|180° meridian]] (opposite Earth) than anyone else has flown (254&nbsp;km/158&nbsp;mi). Coincidentally, due to the Moon's distance from Earth at the time, they simultaneously set the present record for humans' greatest distance from Earth, reaching an altitude of 400,171&nbsp;km (248,655&nbsp;mi) above sea level at [[Coordinated Universal Time|0:21 UTC]] on 15 April 1970.
