Biography[]

Josef Cernan is a Technical Engineer with a perceptive understanding of how things work – not just hardware, but people too.

In his youth, he moved from Turkey to Holland to study Technical Engineering, proving himself to be a brilliant problem-solver. At the same time, he discovered and began to practice Buddhism, which shaped his outlook on life and how to make the most of it.

After making a promise to his late partner to do everything in his power to live a life he could be proud of, Cernan decided to sign up for the Cetus Mission.

Kind-hearted and open-minded, Cernan is often seen as the 'glue' that bonds the crew together (as well as their resident philosopher). He believes every problem, no matter how hard it may seem, has a solution.[1]
