He later joined the United States Naval Academy as a distinguished lecturer, sharing his wealth of knowledge and experience with future leaders in engineering and space exploration. Evans remained an advocate for educational outreach, emphasizing the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields for young aspiring scientists and engineers. His legacy is marked by his commitment to advancing space exploration and his belief in the potential of human ingenuity, inspiring countless individuals to look toward the stars.
