Shows from July - August, 2000 On Sunday - January 25 th - our guest was astronaut Gene Cernan. In 1972 Gene Cernan commanded the Apollo 17 mission to the Moon and became, as he hates to say, "The Last Man on the Moon". No one expected that more than thirty years later he would still have that title. In 1999 he used that phrase as the title for his autobiography. We had the opportunity to interview him at that time while he was on tour promoting his book. Suzanne suggested that we re-air that interview from 1999 today, since it is even more timely now than it was back then. The Last Man on the Moon is Gene Cernan's frank and honest autobiography. In it he tells not just the story of his life as an astronaut, but gives you insights into the choices he made in his life. He isn't afraid to tell about times when he screwed up and made mistakes, like we all do. But what impressed me most about his stories was that he never made excuses for himself and always took responsibility for his actions. Like the time he was 'hot dogging' in a helicopter and crashed while the decision about who was going to command the Apollo 17 mission was still up in the air. In the post-crash debriefing Deke Slayton offered him an easy way out from this embarrassment. "So, exactly when did the engine quit on you?" asked Deke. "It didn't. I just screwed up", was Gene's answer. The two men went over this issue several times, but Gene never waivered. He knew what he did and knew he had to be responsible for his actions. In the end the honest story about what happened was the one that was reported and Gene Cernan went on to get command of the last mission to the Moon.

Extractions: Everyone knows that Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon . Most people, however, cannot remember who the last man on the moon was - it was Gene Cernan. It appears that almost all recollection of Cernan has been erased from the collective American memory. For instance, most Americans can remember the infamous "One Small Step ..." comment that Neil Armstrong made when he stepped onto the moon, but who can remember what Cernan said as man left the moon for the last time "...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. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17." As a favor to Gene, I have listed some snippets about him: Both Armstrong and Cernan have something in common besides being astronauts - both graduated from the same school - Purdue University . Purdue can therefore lay claim to the fact that both the first man and the last man on the moon graduated from Purdue. Other famous graduates from Purdue include Orville Redenbacher and

"That's a very disappointing handle that people put on me," says Gene Cernan. Nearly 27 years after he scaled the LM ladder, looked below at his boot-prints etched in the lunar dust, and above, at our stunning blue planet suspended in the "three dimensional" blackness, Cernan wants to be remembered as someone who was there at the start of something bold and audacious not the end an glorious era.

Space Mission Patches - Apollo 17 Patch To see that on gene cernan s and Jack Schmitt s space suits when they were on the moon was such a privilege. By the way, gene cernan has all the sketches http://genedorr.com/patches/Apollo/Ap17.html
Extractions: Eugene Cernan, commander of the Apollo 17 mission, commissioned eminent space artist Robert McCall to design the patch for his flight. McCall modeled his image of Apollo on the 7-foot marble sculpture on display in the Vatican Gallery in Rome. The most famous of the many Classical representations of the Greek god Apollo, it was discovered towards the end of the 15th century and regarded for centuries afterwards as one of the supreme masterpieces of world art. The statue is a marble copy from the Roman period of a Classical or Hellenistic Greek bronze. Leochares has been proposed as the sculptor of the lost original. In 1503 the newly-elected Pope, Julius II della Rovere, placed it in the internal courtyard of the Belvedere Palace. Gene Cernan later wrote his recollection of the patch: "... for a mission patch [we] turned our pen-scratched ideas and goals over to artist Robert T. McCall, who helped us come up with a wonderful design based on the theme of mankind, country and the future. The golden face of Apollo, Greek god of the Sun, was laid on top of a contemporary drawing of an American eagle. Red bars in the wings reflected our flag, and were topped by three white stars representing our crew. A deep blue background featured the Moon, Saturn and a spiral galaxy, with the eagle's wing just touching the Moon to suggest that this celestial body had been visited by man. Apollo gazes to the right toward the galaxy to imply further exploration, with the eagle leading mankind into the future."

Extractions: The Apollo Astronauts *** Please turn on JavaScript and Style Sheets if your browser supports them. *** But if you didn't live at that time, then all you've probably ever seen is pictures of men in bulky space suits, with gold-plated visors over their helmets so you wouldn't even see their faces. A while ago, and prompted by the SpaceNight program on Bavarian Television (available in most of Europe via Astra satellite), I started wondering what those men really looked like. Thanks to NASA , whose Kennedy Space Center web site contains a wealth of resources about all their space programs, I found some pictures and decided to assemble a web site that would for once show the faces of the men who went to the moon (and a few who almost went there). All these pictures are publicity shots made for PR purposes prior to the flights. This quite obviously sets the tone for what you see here. Also bear in mind that most of the astronauts were Navy or Air Force soldiers, so you can expect a certain demeanor. Still, these publicity shots are so obviously unnatural that I find a great deal of the men's personalities shines through in their attempt to deal with this unfamiliar situation. I also chose to use the names by which they were known among themselves, not their full official names, and each entry contains the first words of the mission commander on the moon.

Extractions: WASHINGTON, May 12 /PRNewswire/ Apollo 17 Commander Eugene A. Cernan today received NASA's first Ambassador of Exploration Award during a special symposium at the U.S. Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla. The award will remain on display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation. The Ambassador of Exploration Award was announced last July during the 35th anniversary celebration of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. It recognizes the sacrifices and dedication of the Apollo, Gemini and Mercury astronauts. Each astronaut or their surviving families will be presented a lunar sample, part of the 842 pounds of moon rocks and soil returned during the six lunar expeditions from 1969 to 1972.
