Description

"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"

Breathtaking color satin-finish 20 x 16 photo of CDR Cernan standing on the moon between the American flag and LRV during Apollo 17, magnificently signed in blue felt tip with a lengthy quote from his speech as the last Apollo moonwalker: "Gene Cernan, Commander, 11th Moon Walker, 'Last Man on The Moon,' Dec. 14, 1972, Apollo XVII, 'I'd like to say that 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.'" On the right side, he adds: "God speed the crew of Apollo XVII, Camelot—My home for 3 days of my life." In fine condition. Accompanied by three photos of Cernan signing the photograph with the long quotation.
