Fred Haise, in his role as backup LMP for Apollo 8, was the last person to exit the CM before the Apollo 8 crew lifted off for the Moon (see chapter 8 of his fabulous book "Never Panic Early").
Haise will be online on an Astronaut Panel Friday 17th 8:00am PT as part of a free Space Education Summit – registration is here:Â https://spaceeducation.squarespace.com
