There have been 13 moon walks since the Apollo 11 mission in which he was the first to walk on the moon, spanning 5 missions from 1969-1972, FYI. He was the first, but definitely not the last.

- wazoox 14y agoThis snarky comment is quite superfluous, I say.
- daeken 14y agoI'm sorry if this came off in a snarky way. I simply wanted to talk about our moon history.
- corin_ 14y agoNot sure what was snarky about it, other than the fact that he pointed out that you were incorrect.. He didn't say it rudely at all?
- randallsquared 14y agoThey are different conversations. The first is about humanity returning to the moon, having stopped going, and the other is about people in the first batch.
- wazoox 14y agoMisunderstanding both ways, obviously. I'm old enough to have seen Apollo flights live on TV, so his interpretation of my post makes absolutely no sense at all to me (except as a contemptuous insult). "Return to the moon" can only mean "a new post-Apollo mission".
- ColinWright 14y agoI would've thought it was obvious that he was referring to the past-Apollo era. Did you really not think that? I'd've thought it obvious that Armstrong was aware of all the Apollo missions, so the comment could hardly have been taken as you imply. And there weren't 13 moon walks after Apollo11, there were 26 in total. There were13 periods of EVA, each with two astronauts.
