Whenever I see that clip of him with his arm in a huge plaster cast I can’t help thinking of Peter Sellers in Dr. Strangelove.

He was of course one of the people Sellers and Kubrick based the character on.

It's a bit incomplete. It seems no one is sure whether Apollo 10's descent stage crash-landed on the moon or is still in orbit round it. Both stages of Apollo 13 burned up in the earth's atmosphere.

CuriousMarc on YouTube has some amazing, very in-depth and technical videos on Apollo hardware.
Lots of them are getting the original hardware up and running again, repairing, reverse engineering etc, highly recommended.
He also does the same with old computers too

There's also some analysis suggesting Eagle's ascent stage is still in orbit:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBHbLV7xEhc
