Bean dubbed the painting “Tracy’s boulder” and we can share it here because Bean very kindly released a version of it into the public domain, again, because astronauts are awesome. When Cernan asked why Bean had done this, Bean very of matter-of-factly said that he did mostly to save Cernan the trouble of “ having to go back and do it himself” because astronauts are kind of awesome like that. As the film’s lead, Katherine gets the most screen time and the only romantic arc, with Moonlight’s Mahershala Ali, a sugar-coated hunk based on her real-life husband of 58 years. 'The Man In The Moon' is a coming of age classic, if only for the brilliant performance that Reese Witherspoon pulls off in her introduction showing at the young age of 15. Kaufman then comes back on in his normal voice saying he 'Had to get rid of the people who dont understand me, and dont want to try'. As balls!īean took this to heart and a few days later he called Cernan to let him know that he’s made a few changes to the painting, mainly that the big-ass rock now had the word “Tracy” very clearly written across the side of it. At the beginning, Kaufmans foreign man comes on saying (due to massive editing) it is the end of the film and plays a record alongside the end credits before walking off. A few years later, Cernan was hanging out with fellow moonwalker turned painter Alan Bean giving him some background info on the mission for one of his paintings when he noticed a familiar sight in one of his current pieces of work, a big-ass rock the Apollo 17 crew had encountered and studied while on the Moon.Ĭernan lamented to Bean that if he’d known that the rock was going to be such an iconic part of the mission, he would have taken a minute to write his daughter’s name onto it in between taking selfies and looking fly as balls.
All you need to know is that just before the lunar module was set to leave the Moon’s surface, Cernan dropped to one knee and used his finger to carefully etch the letters “TDC” (his daughter’s initials) into the dust, where it will likely remain for the better part of a million or so years.īut this is where the story gets even better. In the liner notes for Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982-2011, Peter Buck recalled how the music for this song came together: 'Man on the Moon was something that Bill Berry had this one. did the soundtrack, which included this song. The Apollo 17 mission which launched in December of 1972 was the staging ground for a number of exceedingly complex experiments we won’t get into today because they’re not relevant to the story we’re here to tell. This was used as the title for a 1999 movie about Andy Kaufman, starring Jim Carrey. Famous for being the last human to set foot on the surface of the floating neighbour we like to call “the Moon” Cernan took part in both the Apollo 10 and Apollo 17 missions, the latter of which we’re going to talk about today. When examining what happened to Steve Rogers, its worth looking at how old Captain America is at the end of Avengers: Endgame.Steve was born, fittingly, on July 4, 1918, while the events of Endgame primarily take place in late-2023, following the five-year time jump.
