7-19 Dec. 1972Apollo 17 was the last of the six Apollo missions to the Moon, and the only one to include a scientist—astronaut/geologist Harrison Schmitt—as a member of the crew. Schmitt and Eugene Cernan, had extended EVAs on the Moon, 22 hours, 4 minutes for each. Ronald Evans piloted the CM.
Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) ... In December of 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spent about 75 hours on the Moon, while colleague Ronald Evans orbited overhead. The crew returned with 110 kilograms of rock and soil samples, more than from any of the other lunar landing sites.

The template box indicates that it "needs updating." Given that astronaut Evans passed away in 1990, I find that unlikely to be true, but before I deleted that note I want to be sure I'm not missing something. Is there anything in the template that might be outdated or inaccurate? Newyorkbrad03:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

I don't know if either are notable enough facts to be included in this (or any article), but it is interesting that both Evans and Neil Armstrong were members of VF-51 during their Navy careers (Armstrong during Korea and Evans during Vietnam) and that the ship that Evans flew from, the USS Ticonderoga, was the prime recovery vessel for Apollo 17. This may amount to trivia, which I believe is discouraged, so I'll leave inclusion or exclusion to wiser folks than I.209.244.31.35 (talk) 04:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm francophone so I'm not about to edit English but I can still figure that, under Military service, the phrase "Upon receiving aviator wings until 1962" needs attention.
Also, half of the post on this Talk page are quite... far fetched, I can't see how they pertain to the life of Ronald Evans. Some should be removed. Wikipedia is not Facebook, it is NOT a place to share stuff. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Ronald Evans (astronaut). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

and in December 1965 an aircraft from another squadron was lost with a hydrogen bomb on board.: suggest cutting this, don't see the relevance to Evans here.
Under the rotation scheme, they would...: since this phrase is used at the start of the previous sentence, I suggest "According to the rotation scheme..." to change up the language.
However, Cernan baulked at reprising his role as lunar module pilot...: this needs some context although I think getting into a discussion regarding Apollo 10's LMP position could go off a bit off tangent for this action. Perhaps state "Cernan, having already flown an Apollo mission,..."?
That's not the reason; he wanted to be a CDR. Had Collins accepted though, Cernan would have missed out completely. The relevance here is the the fate of the CMP was tied to that of the CDR. Made this point clearer. Hawkeye7(discuss)07:36, 7 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
The former's experience as backup to Apollo 15: not sure who "the former" is here? I think you mean Cernan but the reference to Apollo 15 is confusing unless you meant Apollo 14?
On May 23, 1972, they were replaced with John W. Young...: drop the W. from Young's name, he is already identified earlier in the article but without the initial.

Both Ron Evans and Ronald Evans should probably direct here as primary. This page gets 110 views a day, readers who are lucky enough to find it. The other six (6) items at the disamb. page receive a combined 21 (XXI) views a day, the daily views for each entry can be counted on one (or less) hand. Can someone put this up for WP:RM as I could never figure out the coding of how to do it, thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:42, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Just a note. 14 US Astronauts went to the moon but didn’t walk on it. Fred Hanse and Jack Swigert of Apollo 13 are part of that group. They went to the moon came around it and came back home. 75.168.64.109 (talk) 20:30, 6 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
That is incorrect. Only 12 astronauts went to the Moon and did not walk on it: Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and William Anders on Apollo 8 (and Lovell again in Apollo 13); Tom Stafford on Apollo 10; Michael Collins on Apollo 11; Richard Gordon on Apollo 12; Fred Haise and Jack Swigert on Apollo 13; Stuart Roosa on Apollo 14; Alfred Worden on Apollo 15; Ken Mattingly on Apollo 16; and Ron Evans on Apollo 17.
