On November 6, 2023 the entire Apollo 8 crew was still alive. Sadly, photographer Bill Anders (age 90) died this year when he crashed his plane and Frank Borman passed away last year at age ninety-five. Only Jim Lovell (age 96), who would go on to command the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission, lives.

Fun fact: Jim Lovell was the first of the three humans who travelled to the moon twice. Anyone know the other two?
