Excellent documentary. One that will never be shown in public schools today.

I worked on his airplane for years. A true gentleman. He took me and my son to hunt deer on his ranch, the does needed thinning out. He will be missed!

I got to see the apollo 14 Saturn on the pad a week before launch, wish I could have been there to see them light the candle on that one.

"...the last man to walk on the moon"

Matthew 20:16 - "...and the last shall be first".

Last on the moon and first in the hearts of his admiring countrymen.

Rest in peace USN Captain Cernan...space hero and brave American.

China? Maybe. But they are more-or-less between Gemini & Soyuz on the technology-side.

I was responding to the comment FINAL man to walk on the moon. Not predicting an early stroll by a Chi-com. FINAL lasts a long long time.

You uses the word “soon” with respect to China landing on the moon. I reacted to that. Everyone understands Cernan’s title as “Last Man” is only temporary.
