BT-15. The Last Man on the Moon

USA, 95 mins., Feature Documentary

A real-life space cowboy, Captain Gene Cernan logged almost 600 hours in space, 73 of them on the moon. He is the only man to have descended toward the moon in the lunar lander twice, the first during Apollo 10 (a non-landing mission), and the second driving a Moon Rover on the moon in Apollo 17. He also took one of the first space walks and set the speed record for a manned vehicle, hitting 24,791 miles per hour during Apollo 10’s fiery re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. When Captain Cernan stepped off the moon in 1972, he left his footprints and his daughter’s initials in the lunar dust. Only now, 40 years later, is he ready to share his epic but deeply personal story.
