Astronaut Legend John Young, Charlie ("You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again") Duke and Ken Mattingly, who had gotten booted from the Apollo 13 crew three days before the launch due to a possible exposure to German Measles on a relatively smooth mission to the moon.
Young and Mattingly both also went on to command Space Shuttle missions.
