The Last Man on the Moon

It’s easy to fall into cliché and get highfalutin when it comes to Apollo; this excellent film brings a rare dose of clarity over its impact on the people involved.

A pilot on Apollos 10 and 17, Cernan became the last person to set foot on the lunar surface in 1972.

Born and raised on a farm that had no electricity, he grew up to be both an astronaut on Apollo 10, the advance mission that laid the groundwork for Apollo 11, and then on Apollo 17, the final manned moon mission.

...an utterly ordinary American who got a glimpse of the extraordinary.
