The Apollo 12 Lunar Module (LM) is in the background. The unmanned Surveyor 3 spacecraft is in the foreground. NASA Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin were the first of 12 human beings to walk on the Moon. Four of America's moonwalkers are still alive: Aldrin (Apollo 11), David Scott (Apollo 15), Charles Duke (Apollo 16), and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17). In all, 24 American astronauts made the trip from Earth to the Moon [between 1968 and 1972](https://science.nasa.gov/moon/missions/). Three astronauts made the journey from Earth to the Moon twice: James Lovell (Apollo 8 and Apollo 13), John Young (Apollo 10 and Apollo 16), and Gene Cernan (Apollo 10 and Apollo 17). ## The 12 Moon Walkers  ### Neil Armstrong (1930-2012)–Apollo 11 [Read More](https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/astronauts/former-astronauts/former-astronaut-neil-a-armstrong/)  ### Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin (1930-)–Apollo 11 [Read More](https://www.nasa.gov/former-astronaut-edwin-buzz-aldrin/)  ### Charles "Pete" Conrad (1930-1999)–Apollo 12 [Read More](https://www.nasa.gov/former-astronaut-charles-pete-conrad-jr/)  ### Alan Bean (1932-2018)–Apollo 12 [Read More](https://www.nasa.gov/former-astronaut-alan-bean/)  ### Alan B.

Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin were the first of 12 human beings to walk on the Moon. Four of America's moonwalkers are still alive: Aldrin (Apollo 11), David Scott (Apollo 15), Charles Duke (Apollo 16), and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17). In all, 24 American astronauts made the trip from Earth to the Moon [between 1968 and 1972](https://science.nasa.gov/moon/missions/). Three astronauts made the journey from Earth to the Moon twice: James Lovell (Apollo 8 and Apollo 13), John Young (Apollo 10 and Apollo 16), and Gene Cernan (Apollo 10 and Apollo 17).
