Default Gene Cernan, last man to walk on the Moon, dies.

Former NASA astronaut Eugene Cernan, second American to walk in space on Gemini 9 in June 1966, orbit the Moon on Apollo 10 in May 1969 and the last man to walk on the Moon in December 1972 as commander of Apollo 17, has died at the age of 82.

Out of 12 Moonwalkers, only 6 are left: Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11), Alan Bean (Apollo 12), Dave Scott (Apollo 15), John Young, Charlie Duke (Apollo 16) and Harrison "Jack" Schmitt (Apollo 17).

Too bad we won't be going back to the Moon in any of these guys' lifetimes, it looks like. We should have been on Mars by now, damn it.
