About this quiz
Each landing put a commander and a lunar module pilot on the surface. The missions ran from Apollo 11 in July 1969 to Apollo 17 in December 1972, with no landing by Apollo 13.
- Every box is owed exactly two astronauts.
- A wrong drop is marked and the name moves to its own mission; there is no second try.
- Harrison Schmitt of Apollo 17 was a geologist, the only scientist among the twelve.
