  • ... that at age 84, Charles Duke (pictured) is the youngest man to have walked on the Moon? Source: "Eventually, Tyson mentioned that Duke was the youngest astronaut to have walked on the moon, Duke rebutted Tyson, saying the astrophysicist's comment isn't just true in the past sense.

  • Hi Hawkeye7, review follows: article passed GA 26 December 2019; article is of excellent quality and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I found no evidence of overly close paraphrasing in a random spot check of the online sources; hook is interesting, mentioned in article and backed up by the source provided (age can also be checked from the sourced birthdate and that he was the youngest from the List of Apollo astronauts); image is freely licensed; QPQ has been done. Another excellent article that'd good to go - Dumelow (talk) 15:35, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
