Everyone is/was mentioning "Neil Armstrong" and the small step giant leap quote (since the july anniversary) , but no one ever remember that last man on to walk the moon. Sure, the first is EPIC, but the last is LEGENDARY. For 43 years and more to come Eugene Cernan will be the last man to walk the surface of our beautiful moon.
The significance of such an event, makes me wonder: "why always the first is celebrated?" The first man to reach the south or to reach the north pole, the first of his name king whatsoever will be murdered anyways. One seems to forget the merits to be the last, we are blindfolded, tricked to believe that "the first...", "the largest...", "the most fanciest...", "the most luxurious..." is epitaph of one's life.
No, No it should not only be one's aim to be the first. Do not forget that many is remembered for their last deeds and words. Do not be tricked by the first, but honor and remember the last.
I quote the last words said by a human (Cernan Himself) standing on the moon's surface: " "Bob, this is Gene, and I'm on the surface; and, as I take man's last step from the surface, back home for some time to come – but we believe not too long into the future – I'd like to just (say) what I believe history will record. That America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus–Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17."
