More from elkit
This week we lost another space pioneer and American treasure Gene Cernan, Commander of the Apollo 17 mission, and the so-called "Last Man on the Moon." (He'd BETTER not be!) But he won't be alone, Neil will be keeping him company.

The only thing I can think of at the moment, and I mean it with all due respects, is the quote from "Cowboy Bebop"
"See ya, space cowboy!"
Gene, Neil, see you gents Star Side some day. In the mean time, save a spot for us on the moon, will ya?
Nice tribute, Elkit.

Yep! No bases on the Moon,no rocketships or shuttles. Two things I remember. One-"Destroy All Monsters" where the UN had a Moon base and the SY3. Two-"Space 1999" where a moonbase and huge storage of nuclear waste,which detonated and sent the Moon flying away from Earth and traveling way beyond.
One thing missing on the Moon. Air/oxygen,water,plant life or growable food,plus my own life sustaining needs-Beer-n-Broads.
Nice work Eamon.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Cernan, along wirh Frank Borman and James Lovell, at an event nine years ago, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 8 mission, which he presided over.
Of all the Apollo moonwalkers, he was my favorite. His was the mission where they got to do the most. He and Jack Schmidt were there three whole days on the moon (versus the few short hours Armstrong and Aldrin had), driving the rover farther than anybody else, exploring some of the most interesting areas on the moon yet seen by humans.
I am truly saddened by his passing, and I'm also said that of the 12 moonwalkers we now have only six that are still with us. I just hope that some of them will live to see Humanity's return to deep space four years from now on the Orion spacecraft.
