I think Anders qualifies in this category. Died in a plane crash yesterday. He was 90 years old and flying a T-34. He took the famous Earthrise photo. Only 6 of these guys are still with us: Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11), David Scott (Apollo 15), Charles Duke (Apollo 16), and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17). Fred Haise and Jim Lovell, who went to the moon but didn't walk on it, are still alive.
The Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronauts were some of my heroes as a boy, a teen and a young man.
