Short list trimmed: Last entry for moonwalkers removed at 82
Gene Cernan is no longer leaving footsteps.
Among the places reporting his death is NPR, which shows pictures from then (1972) and nearly-now (2016). "My dad always used to say, 'Just go out and do your best. You're not going to be better than everyone at everything.' And he was right," Cernan said, "I wasn't. But he was also right one other time when he said, 'Someday you're going to surprise yourself. Just do your best and someday you're going to surprise yourself.'

I remember Eugene Cernan's Gemini flight where he attempted to use a back pack to fly around in space. How nice for you. Now, the EMU was an interesting test because of the possibility of using a rocket pack to land on the moon and return to orbit without a LEM, which would have put us well ahead of the Russians and saved a lot of money besides; Nobody sane ever considered such a thing. snip MookSpew Jesus, Mook, if you want to spew loony START YOUR OWN BLOODY THREADS. -- "Ordinarily he is insane.
