Just a small quibble.  Each Apollo landed 2 astronauts on the moon.  The last
guy in each group of three was the CM pilot who, as we all know, didn't
get to land :-(.
 
(Or as Adm Mattingly said, is it better to get within 10 miles of the lunar
surface than not to go at all, and the ansxwer is clearly yes, but it
doesn't change the fact that if you go to the moon, you want to walk on it.)
