- History
The 1960s was an extraordinary time for the United States. Unburdened by post-war reparations, Americans were preoccupied with other developments like NASA, the game-changing space programme that put Neil Armstrong on the moon. Yet it was astronauts like Eugene Cernan who paved the uneven, perilous path to lunar exploration. A test pilot who lived to court danger, he was recruited along with 14 other men in a secretive process that saw them become the closest of friends and adversaries. In this intensely competitive environment, Cernan was one of only three men who was sent twice to the moon, with his second trip also being NASA’s final lunar mission. As he looks back at what he loved and lost during the eight years in Houston, an incomparably eventful life emerges into view. Director Mark Craig crafts a quietly epic biography that combines the rare insight of the surviving former astronauts with archival footage and otherworldly moonscapes.
The Last Man on the Moon is a 2016 documentary that follows astronaut Eugene Cernan's remarkable journey through NASA's Apollo program, from his recruitment among an elite group of test pilots to becoming one of only three men to reach the moon twice. Director Mark Craig weaves together Cernan's personal reflections, interviews with fellow astronauts, and archival footage to create an intimate portrait of ambition, friendship, and sacrifice during America's space race era.
