Gene Cernan flew to space three times, to the moon twice, but the spacecraft he rode paled in comparison to the International Space Station, where he called Tuesday. “I’m envious, I wish I could be up there with you,” Cernan told Kevin Ford, Expedition 34 commander. The last man to walk on the moon, Cernan made the ground to space call from NASA Mission Control in Houston. In addition to comparing elbow room between Cernan’s Gemini and Ford’s Soyuz, the commanders also spoke about inspiring and benefiting future generations.
