He is one of only three men who have voyaged to the moon twice.

Cernan first flew on the Gemini program and later became the lunar module pilot on Apollo 10, the dress rehearsal for the lunar landing where he flew within 15 kilometers of the surface.
Chris TerrillNARRATOR
Cernan had to wait three years and six missions until he would fly again and finally set foot on the moon.

And how fast did Apollo 10 go?
Josh GelernterHOST
It was over 25,000 miles an hour.

I don't remember the specific number, but-
Zach BrandonHOST
The thing I appreciate about NASA when it comes to spaceflight is is that they're very intentional, not just with their preparation before a launch, but they're also so intentional that they're preparing for scenarios and circumstances that may unfold during the mission, where they will then need to course correct.
Zach BrandonHOST
For example, on Apollo 10, what is verified is that there were four possible corrections that were pre-planned by NASA, And thankfully, the launch was so accurate enough that the crew only needed one during the trip.
Zach BrandonHOST
And so again, whether or not this statistic lines up perfectly or not, or can be kind of verified, what I appreciate here is that we often picture progress as staying like perfectly on a line from the way that we started or the way that we craft it from the beginning.
Zach BrandonHOST
But in practice, reaching a goal usually asks us to keep paying attention to our trajectory along the way.
Daven HiskeyHOST
Apollo 9, the first to test the Apollo Lunar Module in space.
Daven HiskeyHOST
Apollo 10, a full dress rehearsal for the lunar landing.
Daven HiskeyHOST
Apollo 11, the first to land men on the surface of the Moon, and Apollo's 12-17, which with one infamous exception, all succeeded in landing men on the Moon and exploring large areas of our closest celestial neighbor.
Daven HiskeyHOST
And at this point you may now be wondering, why did the mission numbers skip directly from 1 to 7? What happened to Apollo's 2-6? Well, here now is the story of the forgotten Apollo missions and the valuable modifications they contributed to the program and helping humans set foot on the moon.
Will ReitzHOST
On Christmas Eve 1968, Apollo 8, the first manned mission to reach moon orbit, takes this picture, the Earthrise photo.
Will ReitzHOST
May 23, 1969, Apollo 10 successfully docks with a manned lunar lander.
Will ReitzHOST
Thomas Stafford and Gene Cernan flew that lander within eight miles of the moon's surface.
Will ReitzHOST
They orbited the moon, docked with the command module, because Apollo 10 was just a dress rehearsal.
Will ReitzHOST
Everything went great, so it was time for Apollo 11.
Will ReitzHOST
On Sunday, July 20, 1969...
