how many men have walked on the moon?

at 10:56 p.m, on 20 July 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong said the famous words “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” before becoming the first human to walk on the surface of the moon.

since then, 11 other men (no women) have walked on the moon. a total of 12 men out of earth's population of billions of people.

thousands of people have aspired and dreamed about going to the moon. and only 12 people have made it. what happened to those who wanted to go but didn't make it to the moon? are they failures?

how do we measure success? #bcc

“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.” John Muir, known as "John of the Mountains", was a Scottish-American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States.
