WASHINGTON -- Eugene Cernan, the last man on the moon, said Wednesday
he's more than ready to give up the title.

"I want somebody dearly to take that dubious honor ... off my
shoulder," he said after President Bush announced plans to send
astronauts back to the moon and eventually to Mars.

"There's some young kid, some young boy or girl out there," Cernan
said in the hallway at NASA headquarters after Bush's speech. "God
bless their soul. Give them the courage, give them the opportunity. Go
for it."
