Besides the only Mercury astronaut to walk on the Moon, Shepard is the first and only human to have ever golfed on another celestial body.

The first docking occurred during STS-71 on June 29th, ‘95. I was lucky to be able to visually observe the Shuttle and Mir during both missions. STS-63 from Springfield, Ohio and STS-71 from Bakersfield, California.
