If I'm assuming good faith, I'd say that Mattingly is, as the lede notes, best known amongst the populace for being scrubbed from 13. If you weren't alive to witness 13 or 16, the movie is probably where most people get all their Ken Mattingly information. This does him a disservice but is probably what people will know him best for.
Truth be told, I think most people won't know the name or even Apollo 16, but will know Apollo 13.
Lead is the normal word for something that is at the front. For some reason journalists spell it incorrectly as a form of in-joke/slang term among their profession.

To be fair, when I saw a headline on another service, it mentioned "Apollo 16," and I legitimacy thought it was about "Apollo 13," because that is the only Apollo I know.
