*Sure.

Young and Charles Duke in April '72; that's ten.  Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt in December '72; that's twelve.  Irwin died in '91, dropping it to 11.  Shepard and Conrad died in '98 and '99 respectively, making it 9 as of the date this comic was published.  Armstrong died in '12, so our current number is 8.  The oldest living person to have landed on the moon is Aldrin, 83.  There are two 82-year-olds, two 80s, one 78 and two 77s.  [[User:Ekedolphin|Ekedolphin]] ([[User talk:Ekedolphin|talk]]) 13:28, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
