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.

The earliest attempts at Mars exploration were made by the soviets and NASA in the 60s (largely unsuccessful IIRC).
In 1976 NASA successfully landed on the Mars (Viking I) and, even more amazingly, sent back color photos.
Curiosity is a great mission, but I'm still more impressed with the Viking missions.

#9He did get to see the next phase of space flight, with the SpaceX launch, the first successful private spaceflights. The future is bright with the expanded private interest in it.
