Clear Skies, Gene.

One of my favourite astronauts has died.
Eugene Andrew Cernan is the man who left the last set of human footprints on the moon in 1972.
Cernan made his first spaceflight with the Gemini 9A mission and also joined the Apollo 10 mission to test the Lunar lander close to the moon's surface with out actually landing. He set foot on the moon himself with the Apollo 17 mission. He has reached the age of 82.

His autobiography, Last man on the moon, is a really good read to learn more about his life.
