Subject matter expert edit
@Wehwalt: Would you have the time to expand the section Jack_Swigert#Apollo–Soyuz_Test_Project? Right now it says that he was going to be on ASTP but was removed due to the Apollo 15 postal covers incident. Thought you might have the resources to address this in a bit more depth.

Flew to the moon? edit
The first paragraph ends with the sentence: "In April 1970, as command module pilot of Apollo 13, he became one of twenty-four astronauts who flew to the Moon.[1][2]"
This statement can only be treated as accurate if you consider coasting around the moon on a free return trajectory to count as "flew to the Moon." They were committed to not flying to the Moon well before they got to it. Should this statement not be worded differently? /Bruce/ [aka Slasher] (talk) 14:08, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- No, it shouldn't. I think that's WP:PEDANTRY. The intent of Apollo 13 was to land on the Moon; that counts as "flew to the Moon". They were "committed to not flying to the Moon" only by accident. See List of Apollo astronauts. The twenty-four astronauts who flew to the Moon also includes Swigert's crewmates Jim Lovell and Fred Haise. JustinTime55 (talk) 21:06, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
