42 Years Ago Today!
Back on this day in 1972 the crew of Apollo 17 splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean. It was the last of six successful lunar landing missions. During the Apollo 17 mission, astronauts Eugene A. Cernan and Harrison H. Schmitt stayed for a record 75 hours on the surface of the moon, conducting three separate surface excursions in the Lunar Rover vehicle and collecting 243 pounds of rock and soil samples. Do you think they used the pic below for their Christmas card? Happy
