American astronaut Eugene Cernan, shown here on the surface of the Moon during the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972, the last time any human has set foot on it. In that final lunar landing mission, Cernan became "the last man on the moon" since he was the last to re-enter the Apollo Lunar Module during its third and final extra-vehicular activity. Prior to this, Cernan had also gone into space twice, on the Gemini 9A and Apollo 10 missions.
