SpaceUSMC - 2/2/2008 1:48 AMI was recently looking at David Scotts biography. It stated that he was one of only 3 astronauts to fly both Earth orbit and lunar Apollo missions. Does anyone know who the other two are. I would think there are more than that.Tom Stafford: Apollo 10, ASTPAl Bean: Apollo 12, SkylabPete Conrad: Apollo 12, SkylabAm I missing somthing here or did NASA make a typo?Thanks
dwmzmm - 2/2/2008 10:29 AMI assumed he meant those who had went to the moon, then flew earth orbital mission(s) afterwards....

Rusty_Barton - 2/2/2008 10:54 PMOf course, all manned Apollo missions start out as earth orbit missions. ;-)If they meant just low earth orbit Apollo missions and lunar landing missions, then it would be just Scott, Conrad and Bean.

Apollo 10 was a lunar mission and ASTP (Apollo 18) was a earth orbit mission.
