Yeah they took a big risk letting him continue the EVA, he was lucky to make it back in ok. But I don't think this had any impact on him being allowed to go to the moon later.
He gave a talk at my workplace a couple of years ago, he seems like a great guy. Told the story of how he told off Chuck Yeager after a couple of beers :-)
Wooow on the Discription, -Cut Cernan loose? This flight surgeon is responsable for letting Cernan proceed w/ an Accelerating Pulse, & Cernan still had tickets for a moon walk?
@tsns1 Cernan's high heart rate was only high during the Gemini mission due to overexertion, it didn't affect his heart rate the rest of the time. He was very fit physically, which is why he was picked for the Gemini space walk. Much like Ed white who almost got selected as an Olympic athlete.
I always pictured a nightmare with Gene Cernan trying to loose the shroud, and the alligator eating him, 'Jaws' style.

One of the more balanced astronauts I'd say.
