There is a great documentary told by Gene on Netflix right now.

Gives you a great perspective of the highs and lows of his amazing life. Its sad that we are loosing these amazing men when we need their kind of courage most.

When they took him to launch complex 39 all over grown in out of use, that was great, “Why’d you bring me here? It just pisses me off”

Rest in peace.
I watched The Last Man on the Moon recently and can’t recommend it enough.
Eugene Cernan and the other crew members of Apollo 10 (Thomas Stafford and John Young) hold the record for the highest speed attained by any manned vehicle at 39,897 km/h (11.083 km/s or 24,791 mph) during its return from the Moon on May 26, 1969.

How long before certain politi-critters start insisting we never went to the moon at all because it suits their anti-science shtick to say so?
Sigh. I’d like for Buzz to visit DC and start punching people again.

As kind as there are good telescopes we will be able to see the evidence.

Once they gut funding for them entirely, no one will be able to use them. Owning one will be grounds for ‘re-education’. 4+4=5.
