Eugene Cernan

The first manned orbit of the moon had a reading from Genesis and the first time man walked on the moon they had communion reading from Psalms 8. Buzz Aldrin in Guideposts.

In a little while after our scheduled meal period, Neil would give the signal to step down the ladder onto the powdery surface of the moon. Now was the moment for communion. So I unstowed the elements in their flight packets. I put them and the scripture reading on the little table in front of the abort guidance system computer. Then I called back to Houston.

“Houston, this is Eagle. This is the LM Pilot speaking. I would like to request a few moments of silence. I would like to invite each person listening in, wherever and whomever he may be, to contemplate for a moment the events of the past few hours and to invite each person listening, wherever and whomever he may be, to contemplate for a moment the events of the past few hours and to give thanks in his own individual way.”

O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen—Even the beasts of the field, The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth! – Psalms 8

The final man to walk and speak on the moon was Eugene CERNan. Cernan was the 11th person to walk on the moon and the last to leave. The movie “Last Man on the Moon” was about Cernan.

Cernan was born 7,505 days before CERN was formed. The pinnacle of science and exploration began with men acknowledging the Creator and exploring the wonder of the heavens. The heights of science today are about becoming as the Creator. What began with Genesis and communion on the moon has devolved into an attempt to open the abyss and the intermingling of seed.

From the formation of CERN on September 29, 1954 to Cernan’s Apollo 17 launch was 6,644 days or 949 weeks. From CERN to the final moon landing was 6,648 days.
