John Glenn (Mercury astronaut) returned to space in 1998. Do you think any of the Apollo astronauts will do a similar thing?

I doubt it.
Certainly not as a pilot.
Maybe as a passenger, but most of the dozen who actually walked on the moon are already in their 80s.
(The last man on the moon, Senator Harrison Schmidt, was born in 1935.)

John Young, who has walked on the Moon, was the commander of the first space shuttle flight.
Other than that, probably not. They are all in their 70s now.

Possibly like Scotty's ashes.

Probably not, they are all much too old now.
