#8Ken Mattingly also died recently https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Mattingly
I only know this because he worked at my company. And I only found that out the day after he died. A little sad I never got to meet him.

#9Two interesting facts about Apollo 8 beyond the whole first-flight-to-the-moon thing:
* Two of its three astronauts became CEOs of Fortune 500 companies: Borman at Eastern Airlines, and William Anders at General Dynamics. (The third, Jim Lovell, stayed with NASA and survived the Apollo 13 explosion.)
* Borman (command pilot) and Lovell (pilot) had flown together on Gemini. Borman again commanded Apollo 8, despite Lovell having more experience in space as he had flown again on Gemini as commander.

#10I think there are now only eight men still alive that flew to the moon and only four that walked on it. I hope there'll be some still alive to see the next person walk on the moon.
