[Orionid]

Pełnił funkcję pilota LM "Orion".
Stał się również pierwszym bliźniakiem, który poleciał w kosmos.

Jest najmłodszą osobą, która spacerowała po Księżycu oraz obecnie jednym z 4. żyjących ludzi, którzy zostawili ślady stóp na powierzchni tego globu.
Jego jedyny lot kosmiczny trwał 11d 01h 51m 04s.
Na powierzchni Księżyca odbył 3 spacery kosmiczne, które trwały łącznie 20h 14m 14s.

Charles Duke, który był członkiem załogi rezerwowej Apollo 13 zachorował 05.04.1970.
Okazało się, że zaraził się różyczką od trzyletniego syna przyjaciół.
Duke nie przechodził tej choroby w dzieciństwie i nie był na nią uodporniony.
NASA zbadała astronautów głównej załogi, ponieważ Duke spotykał się z nią do 3 kwietnia.
Lovell i Haise z głównej załogi byli odporni, zapewne z powodu uodpornienia w dzieciństwie.
Thomas Mattingly, pilot modułu dowodzenia Apollo 13 był jednak narażony na zakażenie wirusem wywołującego różyczkę, co spowodowało rekonfigurację składu załogi.

The surprising voyage of Charlie Duke: An astronaut reaches for heaven
By Earl Swift April 21, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. EDT

(...) “The dating of the rocks is suspect,” he said. “We have assumptions that we make to date these rocks, and the assumptions might be wrong.”

Much of what is mistaken for ancient origin, Duke suggested, is actually a product of the Great Flood — a deluge that, according to the Book of Genesis, only Noah and his family survived — and its aftermath. “When the earth was cooling down after the flood, the ice age came,” he said. “I don’t know how long it lasted, but several hundred years or more. And then it was warming up and it began to recede, the glaciers and stuff. There’s evidence that there were big, huge, massive lakes, and then when they burst, they sent the water down, and we see the Grand Canyon.
