ASTRONAUTS WHO HAVE VISITED THE MOON

THE HAMMER AND THE FEATHER

In 1971, during Apollo 15, David Scott and James Irwin proved Galileo Galilei's theory by dropping a hammer and feather at the same time. They both landed at the same time, proving there is no gravity on the moon.

24 astronauts have orbited the moon , but only 12 have walked on the moon surface.

Alan Shepherd played golf on the moon. He was also the first Nasa astronaut in space.
