Czech Science "The Last Man on the Moon" to visit Czech Republic
Eugene Cernan
The last man to walk on the surface of the Moon, the American astronaut of
Czech descent, Eugene Cernan, is going to visit the Czech Republic this
month.
Mr Cernan who landed on the Moon in 1972 will be signing the Czech
translation of his book "The Last Man on the Moon" and he'll
also receive an award from the Czech Academy of Sciences. Eugene Cernan
last visited the Czech Republic in October 2001 and was lucky to escape
uninjured from an army helicopter crash. Incidentally, a court in South
Bohemia finally ruled last week that the accident was caused by a
technical fault. The pilot was cleared of all charges.
