Eugene Cernan passed away today.

Post by Pawpaw »

Cernan, a Captain in the U.S. Navy, left his mark on the history of exploration by flying three times in space, twice to the moon. He also holds the distinction of being the second American to walk in space and the last human to leave his footprints on the lunar surface.

:patriot: Godspeed Cap'n, thanks for your service

"There is too much purpose, too much logic, it was just too beautiful to happen by accident," Cernan said. "There has to be somebody bigger than you and bigger than me...And I mean this in a spiritual sense, not in a religious sense, there has to be a creator of the universe who stands above the religions that we ourselves create to govern our lives."
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Another great American gone, but not forgotten.
I read his book, "The Last Man on the Moon" and enjoyed it.
I will have to pull it out and read it again.

I never got to meet him, but I have a couple friends who
socialized with Cernan. By their accounts he was great
to hang out with.

RIP Eugene Cernan. :patriot:
