Honoring the 50th Anniversary of NASA’s Apollo 17 Moon Mission

Hon­or­ing the 50th Anniver­sary of NASA’s Apol­lo 17 Moon Mission

[vid_tags]

On Dec. 7, 1972, NASA astro­nauts Har­ri­son Schmitt, Eugene Cer­nan, and Ronald Evans lift­ed off on Apol­lo 17—the final mis­sion of the Apol­lo pro­gram. Cer­nan and Schmitt land­ed on the Moon on Dec. 11, spend­ing three days on the lunar sur­face before rejoin­ing Evans in orbit and return­ing to Earth, splash­ing down in the Pacif­ic Ocean on Dec. 19.

Apol­lo 17 was the most recent mis­sion to land humans on the Moon—and our next one isn’t far away. As our Artemis mis­sions pre­pare to return humans to the Moon and build a sus­tain­able lunar pres­ence, join us for a look back at Apol­lo 17.
