## Caption

For decades after he became the most recent human to set foot on the moon’s surface during Apollo 17, #Purdue astronaut Eugene Cernan (BSEE ’56) was a passionate advocate for continuing investment in space exploration.

With humans preparing to return to the moon in the NASAArtemis program, we celebrate Cernan’s legacy as a typical Boilermaker student who went on to do remarkable things with NASA.

At link in bio, learn about his career – and about research that Purdue history students recently conducted on Cernan at PurdueArchives.
