Astronaut's personal journey to space and back.

You'd appreciate Eugene Cernan's raw account if you're fascinated by the human elements of space exploration—the personal sacrifices, the intense camaraderie among astronauts, and the sheer thrill of achieving the extraordinary. "The Last Man on the Moon" dives into not just the technicalities and adventures of spaceflight but also the profound emotions and behind-the-scenes struggles of those who aimed for the stars. It's a story of human ambition and the price one pays for glory, narrated by someone who's been to the very edge of human experience.

Description

Eugene Cernan is a unique American who came of age as an astronaut during the most exciting and dangerous decade of spaceflight. His career spanned the entire Gemini and Apollo programs, from being the first person to spacewalk all the way around our world to the moment when he left man's last footprint on the Moon as commander of Apollo 17. Between those two historic events lay more adventures than an ordinary person could imagine as Cernan repeatedly put his life, his family and everything he held dear on the altar of an obsessive desire. Written with New York Times bestselling author Don Davis, this is the astronaut story never before told - about the fear, love and sacrifice demanded of the few men who dared to reach beyond the heavens for the biggest prize of all - the Moon.
