  • Why don't the hoaxers just talk to the Apollo guys, and with respect of course. They will talk to you and they are really neat guys.

  • The last one of the Old Breed .... I hope the New Breed can live up to his standard. God bless you Gene, you're a great American!

  • Great man. It's amazing that he got to travel to the moon twice. Orbited the moon on 10 and landed on 17, awesome.

  • An excellent comment from Cernan about youth and maturity. Most astronauts are selected long after age 30 and the top ones are into their 50s. Simply put, exuberance is NOT a good quality on a space flight, except in learning how to take orders and operate your craft.

    My guess is the first person to revisit the Moon may have been selected in the early 2000s NASA group.

  • It's not just maturity, but the ones who go on to become pilots and commanders require a great deal of piloting experience.

    For complex maneuvers like orbital rendezvous or lunar landing, you'd definately want a seasoned pilot.

  • Live long Gene! You re my hero!

  • It was far easier to land on the moon with 1960s technology than it would have been to fake it with 1960s effects. It would still be difficult to convincingly fake it with 21st Century effects! Even a cursory knowledge of physics informs the unbiased that man has been to the moon.

  • The interviewer seems to have mixed up which which missions Gene was on. He says he flight tested the LM in earch orbit. That was Apollo 9. Gene was on Apollo 10 which flew the LM in low LUNAR orbit, then landed on Apollo 17.

  • He said "lunar orbit," not earth orbit, he got it right. It's just faint so it's hard to hear.

  • What is this from? A conference? Please inform.

  • fuck you all hoaxers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'd like to get all the idiots who think the moon landings were a hoax and send them there. No, not there, they don't deserve the chance and probably don't have the guts.

  • You'll have to work out how to get there first won't you.

    "...Teevee don't do spaceboats no mo'..."

  • And you're ignorant for thinking he hsan't

    How sad

  • You think it was a hoax? how dumb are you?

  • Hoax believers represent the lowest of human intelligence, conscious, but not much more than that.

    In other words, a bunch of idiots with no scientific proof or understanding of technology or physics. But stupid bellyaching paranoiacs always scream the loudest, don't they?

  • Hehehehahahahahahahahahh:-D !!! This is how I see them too. You just made my day!
