So my dumb ass “found” a gotcha but I completely forgot what Apollo 13 very famously did not do and that CSM pilots didn’t moonwalk anyways.

US men aged 90 have a life expectancy of almost 4 more years, so it looks like the world will narrowly avoid reaching a time again with no living memory of walking on the moon. But there’s probably not much room for Artemis IV and its competitors to slip. This situation would have been almost inconceivable in 1972.

Could’ve added Michael Jackson as an Easter Egg, but that’s just me being a goofball 🤪✌︎︎
Only white male American citizen so far.
Really wonder what leads to their longevity if it was the constant training and exercise many maintained pre and post mission or just luck.
Buzz is still alive?! I met him in 2011, a great guy and a very humbling moment.
