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 (Apollo 17’s landing site), 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.

Captain Eugene A. Cernan, the last man to set foot on the Moon,  Commander of Apollo 17. (March 14, 1934 – January 16, 2017)
