Pre-launch portrait of the crew of Apollo 17. The crew members are: Eugene Cernan (commander, seated); Ronald Evans (Command Module pilot, standing right) and Harrison Schmitt (Lunar Module pilot). Apollo 17 was the last in the series of manned Lunar missions. Launch was on 7 December 1972, using the Saturn V rocket in the background. Cernan and Schmitt descended to the Moon on 11 December, staying there for 72 hours and making three excursions on the Lunar Roving Vehicle. Evans stayed in Lunar orbit in the Command Module. After a rendezvous on 13 December, all three returned to Earth, splashing down on 19 December. Cernan was the last man to stand on the Moon. | |
