Last Human On The Moon Reveals What He Felt
YouTube ^ | Jan 6, 2024 | David Hoffman

Posted on 01/07/2024 5:46:51 AM PST by beejaa

The speaker is Eugene "Gene" Cernan an American astronaut who was the last person to walk on the Moon during NASA's Apollo 17 mission in December 1972. My team recorded this interview in 1994. Cernan's first spaceflight was as the pilot of the Gemini 9A mission in June 1966. He served as the lunar module pilot for Apollo 10 in May 1969, a mission that served as a dress rehearsal for the Apollo 11 lunar landing. Cernan and his fellow crew members flew to within 9.7 miles of the lunar surface but did not land.

Cernan's most significant achievement came as the commander of Apollo 17, NASA's final manned lunar mission. This mission took place from December 7 to December 19, 1972. Cernan, along with Harrison Schmitt and Ronald Evans, conducted extensive geological experiments on the Moon, collected valuable samples, and spent a total of about 22 hours on the lunar surface. Cernan's departure from the Moon's surface on December 14, 1972, marked the last time a human set foot on the Moon to date...

I’ve reached the state of maturity where I’m simply amused more than angered by the Apollo denialists. People who doubt the landing are just funny to me now.

I don’t know the real truth. I do believe in questioning EVERYTHING!

The more I see from our government, the more I believe that they are and have been capable of ANYTHING!

I am one of those “retards”—but I choose to take the high road and treat those who disagree with me with respect.

Oh, the “high road” of ignorance and stupidity. I show no respect to people like you, because people like you were the sort who burned witches, and the sort who, to this day, insist that the Earth is flat.

I have heard and read just about every argument the “We never landed on the Moon” people spew, and every one of them is easily debunked, because they are idiotic, and utterly ignorant.

I will not take the “high road” with people who are dangerously ignorant and stupid, because doing so only encourages more of the same.

If the earth is flat, which side is up?

If they can walk around on it without floating off into space, then how can they fall off the edge?

In addition to name calling you went for guilt by association.

Lol.

Maybe you should go take a look at images of the lunar surface, taken from a lunar orbital satellite, where you can see the tracks and equipment left behind from the Apollo missions. Or do you believe that NASA, decades after the “lunar landing hoaxes”, are still busily creating more (completely consistent) “hoax” images?

Here are a couple for you, taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (or is the LRO a hoax, too?):

Apollo 12 landing site:

When you ask the wrong questions you get the wrong answers.

I realize that, but I do not trust that anything will be benign in the future.

I met s 20-something moon landing denier last week. I wouldn’t (and didn’t) bother to argue the subject. The best take-away I got from the conversation was that he was extremely skeptical of government.
