All of these astronauts flew on Gemini, and except for White, each commanded one Gemini and one Apollo mission:

* [[Ed White (astronaut)|Edward H. White II]] – Second-seat veteran of [[Gemini 4]] who made the United States' first [[extravehicular activity|walk in space]], selected as Senior Pilot (second seat) on Apollo 1. White was killed in the Apollo 1 fire along with Grissom and Chaffee.
* [[James McDivitt|James A. McDivitt]] – Commander of Gemini 4, selected in late 1966 to command the first Earth orbital flight test of the [[Apollo Lunar Module]] with the CSM. This mission flew in March 1969 as [[Apollo 9]]. After his flight, McDivitt was promoted to Manager of Lunar Landing Operations, and in August 1969 was promoted to Manager of the Apollo Spacecraft Program.
* [[Frank Borman|Frank F. Borman II]] – Commander of [[Gemini 7]], selected to command a higher Earth orbit test of the complete Apollo spacecraft. But when delays prevented the LM from being ready in time for its first flight in December 1968, Borman's mission was changed to the first lunar orbital flight of the CSM on [[Apollo 8]].
* [[Jim Lovell|James A. Lovell Jr.]] – Second-seat veteran of Gemini 7, and commander of [[Gemini 12]], flew as Command Module Pilot (second seat) on Apollo 8. Lovell became the first to fly a second Apollo mission as commander of [[Apollo 13]], the third lunar landing attempt. This mission was unsuccessful, due to a Service Module electrical system failure caused by an oxygen tank explosion. Lovell and his crew managed to return to Earth safely.  Lovell is the only person to fly to the Moon twice without landing there.
* [[Thomas P. Stafford]] – Second-seat veteran of Gemini 6A and commander of [[Gemini 9A]], commanded a lunar orbital test of the Lunar Module on [[Apollo 10]]. He also commanded the [[Apollo–Soyuz Test Project]] mission.
* [[John Young (astronaut)|John W. Young]] – Second-seat veteran of [[Gemini 3]] and commander of [[Gemini 10]], flew as Command Module Pilot on [[Apollo 10]]. Young later commanded the successful [[Apollo 16]] lunar landing. He also commanded the first Space Shuttle flight, [[STS-1]] ''[[Space Shuttle Columbia|Columbia]]'', April 12–14, 1981, and [[STS-9]], also on ''[[Space Shuttle Columbia|Columbia]]'', November 28–December 8, 1983.
* [[Neil Armstrong|Neil A. Armstrong]] – Commander of [[Gemini 8]], commanded [[Apollo 11]], becoming the first human to set foot on the Moon.
* [[Pete Conrad|Charles "Pete" Conrad Jr.]] – Second-seat veteran of [[Gemini 5]] and commander of [[Gemini 11]], commanded [[Apollo 12]], the second lunar landing.  He went on to command Skylab 2, successfully completing repairs to the spacecraft that saved it for this and two subsequent missions.
