Editing List of Apollo astronauts (section)

== Apollo astronauts who never flew to the Moon ==

In addition to the nine lunar missions, there were two crewed flights in the Apollo program that remained in Earth orbit to test fly the spacecraft. [[Apollo 7]] was a crewed test flight of the CSM, and [[Apollo 9]] was a crewed flight test of the CSM and LEM. Of the six astronauts who participated in these missions, five were never rotated to a lunar mission. In addition, the three [[Skylab]] missions and [[Apollo-Soyuz Test Project]] used crewed CSMs in Earth orbit and are considered part of the [[Apollo Applications Project]]. Although Conrad, Bean, and Stafford commanded three of these four flights, the remaining crew members were rookies and thus had long missed the opportunity to fly a Moon mission. Of the seven rookies who flew Skylab, three of them ([[Paul J. Weitz]], [[Owen K. Garriott]], and [[Jack R. Lousma]]) would return to space aboard the Space Shuttle. [[Vance Brand]] flew on ASTP as Command Module Pilot and would command three Shuttle missions.  Except for Garriott, all Apollo astronauts who also flew on the Shuttle served as commander.
