A mostly conventional British documentary. Its emotional core is centered around Cernan's regrets with regards to having to place his family second to his professional duties, and the repercussions on his wife and daughter. Its best parts involved found footage and a booming sound mix that draws the viewer into the epic world of American space exploration. I wish it tried to do a little more with its technique. There was no way it was ever going to top For All Mankind.

I don't think it's possible for anyone to imagine what his experiences were like especially given that this is not an emotional man, but this film is as close as we are going to get. Gene Cernan advises us to "Dream the Impossible and go out an make it happen". That's setting the bar pretty high in this generation plagued by achievement anxiety. But nice way to end the film. As a side bar, I thought it was pretty funny that his wife fell for him because she thought he was "down to earth".
