Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 12-25-2015 08:53 AM [QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel on the Moon: [b]I'll never forget the instance that my name was referred to by Apollo Astronaut Eugene Cernan commander of the Apollo 17 flight while on the lunar surface.[/b][/QUOTE] This closing tidbit was too good not to follow up (how many people can say they've had a shout out from the moon?) and so here's the relevant passage from Apollo 17's EVA-1 on the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal... <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]116:46:42 Cernan: Got it. (Pause) I'm going to miss Danny being out there to hand us those light PLSSs. 116:46:48 Schmitt: That's right. (Pause) [This is a reference to training exercises. They had practiced donning full-sized PLSSs inside the LM and then trade those for smaller, lightweight units once they were outside. Danny Schaiewitz was the engineer who handed them in. He worked for the manufacturer, Hamilton-Standard. According to Ed Brisson, who headed up the Hamilton-Standard operation at the Cape, Schaiewitz was well liked by the crews and socialized with many of them.][/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>
