An diesem Tag im Jahr 1972 betritt der Astronaut Eugene Cernan als letzter Mensch den Mond. Sowohl er als auch Harrison Schmitt absolvierten die dritte und letzte Außenfahrzeugaktivität (EVA) der Apollo-17-Mission

So, who took the picture of the landing on the moon and the lift off from the moon ? Or film per say
„And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.“
meanwhile, 20,000 more bombs and thousands of dead civilians in Vietnam in Operation Linebacker 2
I hope in my lifetime we get to see these historical sites visited with a live feed and finally silence the deniers. Their boot prints and tire tracks will still be visible to this day!
Apollo 17 was the closest we’ve gotten to routine lunar field geology: multi-stop rover traverses, serious sample collection, and the kind of on-the-fly observation you only get from trained eyes on site.
Hard to believe that tempo happened in 1972 and we still haven’t topped it on the surface since. Here’s hoping last keeps meaning “most recent,” not and not actually final.
Kind of crazy that all the lunar exploration happened in a span of about 3 years.
Its gotta suck being the last person to walk on the moon, its just a matter of time before someone takes your title
Finding out that we haven’t set foot on the moon for over 50 years is my version of Santa isn’t real.
I know the reason why, I know this didn’t stop us from doing science missions and I know we’re coming back. But it’s a humbling reminder of how hard space is, and how quickly time will fly by when our priorities shift.
The golden era for space exploration, up to the 80’s/90’s with most of the outer space robotic missions. Harrison Schmitt was the last scientist on the Moon, as he was a Caltech geologist.
Bro needs more props. We don’t even remember your name and we should.
