Cernan’s love of flying powered his amazing career as a Navy fighter pilot, aeronautical engineer, and astronaut. He flew in space three times, including the last Apollo mission where he walked (and drove) on the Moon.

The picture was taken by Harrison Schmitt following their third Lunar EVA. His suit is covered in moon dust. (Credit NASA, http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/apollo/apollo17/hires/as17-145-22224.jpg)
