When astronaut Gene Cernan heard about a petition established on the White House 'We the People' website by a six-year-old boy who hopes to increase funding for NASA ... he just had to pick up the phone.
It’s reported that Connor Johnson got the call last Wednesday. Cernan said by way of introduction, "I'm an astronaut. This is Gene Cernan calling. I'm the last person to have walked on the moon."
