How Many People Have Walked on the Moon?

Thumbnail for "How Many People Have Walked on the Moon?"

July 20, 1969: alarms ringing, boulders below, fuel almost gone. Then touchdown. Only twelve people have ever walked on the Moon. One played golf up there. One dropped a hammer and a feather. One left a photo of his family in the dust. Join Dr. PX to meet all twelve, with the real NASA photos and film.
