Just one that I know of: Charlie Duke, from Apollo 16. Jim Lovell from Apollo 13 is left handed, and he was supposed to walk on the moon, but of course that mission was aborted. I read on a 'left handed site' somewhere that 4 of the 12 men who actually walked on the Moon were left handed.
A man normally wears his wristwatch on his non-dominant arm. That is, if he is left-handed, he wears his watch on his right wrist; if he is right-handed, the left wrist. However, since many watches are designed to be worn on the left wrist, some left-handed men wear their watches on the left.
There have been eleven left-handed players - eight men and three women - that have won at Wimbledon: Norman Brookes - 1907, 1914; Jaroslav Drobny - 1954; Neale Fraser - 1960; Rod Laver - 1961, 1962, 1968, 1969; Ann Jones - 1969; Jimmy Connors - 1974, 1982; John McEnroe - 1981, 1983, 1984; Martina Navratilova - 1978, 1979, 1982-1987, 1990; Goran Ivanisevic - 2001; Rafael Nadal 2008, 2010 and Perta Kvitova 2011, 2014.

Who won the wimbledon men's single championship in 1981?
Pete Sampras won the men's Wimbledon final in 1997.
I believe about 40~60% of the world's left-handed population ((Which is still only 7~10% out of over 6 billion people)), are male.
