   Am I correct that only 2 Apollo astronauts had done EVAs prior to   
   landing on the moon?  That would be Aldrin (11) and Cernan (17).   
      
   Scott (15) was supposed to do an EVA on Gemini 8, but the flight was   
   terminated after an issue with a prior objective (docking to an Agena   
   target) resulted in de-activating the OAMS and activating the RCS.   
      
   The count seems to be 3 CMPs that had done Gemini EVAs ... Cernan (10),   
   Collins (11), and Gordon (12).   
      
   Stafford (10), Armstrong (11), Lovell (13), and Young (16) were the   
   IVAs for the Gemini EVAs that went on to fly on Apollo, and 2 of them   
   did moonwalks.
