TRANSCRIPT
AN EVENINGW I T H T H ELAST MANON THE MOON
Eugene “Gene” Andrew Cernan is a retired United States Navy officer and a former NASA astronaut and engineer. He has been into space three times: as co-pilot of Gemini 9A in June 1966; as lunar module pilot of Apollo 10 in May 1969; and as commander of Apollo 17 in December 1972. In that final lunar landing mission, Cernan became “the last man on the moon” because he was the last to re-enter the Apollo Lunar Module. As Cernan got ready to climb the ladder for the final time, he spoke these words, the last currently spoken by a human standing on the moon’s surface:
The last man on the moon is one of America’s most inspirational astronauts. Gene Cernan is determined to help young people follow his footsteps to the moon and beyond. Join some of Colorado’s many astronauts for a tribute to our leadership in space, an unforgettable evening to honor our heritage and renew our reach for the stars.

“As we leave the Moon at Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came, and God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. As I take these last steps from the surface for some time to come, I’d just like to record that America’s challenge of today has forged man’s destiny of tomorrow. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.”
