Eveyone tends to remember the first two men to walk on the moon, but no one gives much credit to the Astonauts that achieved this feat after Neil and Buzz. Pete and Alan were the third and fourth astronauts respectively to walk on the moon.

Only 12 people have done it, and only 8 are still with us.

NASA didn't even bother to make a bogus movie for that one

"allegedly" walked on the moon.

Follow the money man. That was done on a soundstage in Cali.

Because Neil and Buzz are fricking awesome names and Pete and Alan are lame as shite.

It's insane to me the idea that we could see a time in the near future with no living humans having ever stepped on a celestial body other than Earth.

Pete Conrad was defiinently the funniest astronaut.

In simulator exercises they named their Lunar Module "Fudd," and the Command Module "Pucker"

Hard to keep from rolling on the floor hearing them call = "Fudd, Pucker here, how do you read me?"

Halcyon days, for sure.
