Maybe no UFO debunkers have been brave enough so far to publicly attack the characters of well-known astronauts. Anyway, the only comments by debunkers I’ve seen are about astronauts’ UFO statements, not about the astronauts themselves. Debunkers often claim that the astronauts were misquoted and didn’t really say they saw UFOs. It’s true that some astronauts have been misquoted by the UFO community, but both Gordon Cooper and Edgar Mitchell can be seen on You Tube talking about believing in alien UFOs.

Astronauts can be mistaken about what they saw, as can jet pilots and everyone else, and that’s why investigating UFO reports is good, if it’s done honestly by both sides - and there are definitely sides in the UFO issue.
