Apollo by the Numbers : A Statistical

Few adults will forget where they were, what they were doing, and how they felt in July 1969 when Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon. Human nature tends to remember the first in any new effort. Lindberg was the first to fly the Atlantic but who was the second? Admiral Byrd was the first to the Pole but who followed him? More to the point, who was the second lunar module commander to step foot on the moon?
