No. The female in the photo which was then photographed by an astronaut was not an astronaut.

The female in question was not part of the space program. Her connection to the person who took the photograph is something else.

was it strictly an Apollo astronaut exclusive of former Gemini or Mercury astronauts who were subsequently reassigned as Apollo candidates? there were 24 in all.

Correct.



Photographed and left on the moon in April of 1972 by Apollo 16 Lunar Module Pilot Charles Duke. It is the only family photo ever left there.

Original photo.



I can't help but imagine what those two young boys could have done with this. Example ...

Imagine as a young man out on a date with a girl who doesn't know who his dad is.

Points at moon. "My picture is up there."

"No it's not."

"Wanna bet?"

Over to you.
