How many humans have walked on the moon? Kuya Kim answers

With the NASA once again sending missions to the moon, it's possible that humans will get the chance step on the lunar surface for the first time since 1972.

The Apollo 11 spaceflight has gone down in history as the first mission to send humans on the moon. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins were the astronauts who famously crewed the flight.

Armstrong and Aldrin got to be the first "moon walkers" after spending 21 hours and 26 minutes on the surface of the moon in 1969, but others followed their footsteps as other space missions made it to the moon.

According to Kuya Kim's report on "24 Oras," Thursday, a total of 12 people walked on the lunar surface.

Aside from Armstrong and Aldin, the 10 others were Charles Conrad and Alan Bean (Apollo 12), Alan Shepard Jr. and Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14), David Scott and James Irwin (Apollo 15), Charles Duke and John Young (Apollo 16), and Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan (Apollo 17).

Four of them are still alive: Aldrin, Scott, Duke, and Schmitt.
