Found this list on Wikipedia of all the spacewalkers. Already I have found errors in Buzz Aldrin's EVA and Al Bean's, both their lunar EVAs are omitted and I was just wondering can anyone spot an other errors.

The introduction to the page explains the omissions:
This is a list of all astronauts who have engaged in an EVA by partly or fully leaving a spacecraft, exclusive of extravehicular activity on the lunar surface.

For a list of astronauts who have performed lunar EVA ("moonwalks") see List of Apollo astronauts#Apollo astronauts who walked on the Moon.

And by my count (which is not error-proof!) there are about 11 female spacewalkers-- which is a little higher that I would have guessed off the top of my head.

Kate Rubins will be 12th woman with EVA on August 19th, 2016. One Russian cosmonaut (Savitskaya) versus 10 American women astronauts so far.

All times are CT (US)
