Only one professional scientist has walked on the Moon; Harrison Schmitt was a geologist who was trained to be an astronaut. All the other lunarnauts were astronauts who had been trained in geology. There is a theory that Schmitt was "allowed" to go by NASA in recompense for sending Alan Shepherd who, as a smoker, found some of the mission too tiring to complete and who spent some time playing Golf.
