	NASA Apollo Mission Apollo-17
		This site was picked for Apollo 17 as a location where rocks both older and younger than those previously returned from other Apollo missions and from the Luna 16 and 20 missions might be found.
		Scientific objectives of the Apollo 17 mission included geological surveying and sampling of materials and surface features in a preselected area of the Taurus-Littrow region, deploying and activating surface experiments, and conducting inflight experiments and photographic tasks during lunar orbit and transearth coast (TEC).
		Apollo 17 was the last lunar landing mission.

	Apollo 17 - Conservapedia
		Apollo 17 was the sixth and final sucessful manned flight of Project Apollo, the manned NASA moon missions.
		On the voyage of the command module "America" and the lunar module "Challenger" Apollo 17 was crewed by Eugene A. Cernan, the Commander; Ronald E. Evans, the Command Module Pilot and Harrison H. "Jack" Schmitt, Lunar Module Pilot.
		Apollo 17 launched from the Kennedy Space Center in the first night launch on December 6, 1972, landing on the moon on December 11th, and concluded by returning to earth on 19 December 1972.

		Apollo 17 was scheduled to leave the Cape at 9:38 p.m.
		The last sampling trip of the Apollo program was a traverse to the foot of the North Massif, where they found two large boulders that had obviously rolled down from outcrops higher on the mountain; their tracks were visible in the soft soil.
		During the Apollo 17 mission, MSC would be responsible for the medical briefing at the mission reviews, would provide the medical staffing of the mission operations control room, would assume the medical line responsibilities in the operations team, and would provide mission surgeons to take part in the change-of-shift press briefings.

		Apollo 9, which was composed of a command module (CM), a command service module (CSM), a lunar module (LM), and an instrument unit (IU), was launched by a Saturn V rocket on March 3, 1969, from Cape Kennedy into a nominal orbit of 102.3 by 103.9 n.m.
		Apollo 13 was intended to be the third mission to carry humans to the surface of the Moon, but an explosion of one of the oxygen tanks and resulting damage to other systems resulted in the mission being aborted before the planned lunar landing could take place.

	Apollo 17 Summary
		The Apollo 16 crew had lost a fender in much the same way and, in the interest of avoiding such problems as overheating batteries and sticking latches, Cernan was eager to fashion a replacement.
		With the Apollo 14 experience as a guide, NASA had made a conservative assumption that, in the event of a Rover breakdown, the astronauts would be able to maintain an average walking speed of 2.7 km/hour, about half the running speeds achieved by several of the astronauts over distances of a hundred meters or so.
		At the end of Apollo 16, Charlie Duke brought his scoop home and, although there are scratches on the scoop that were probably made as he used it to pick up rocks, a cursory examination of the latch mechanism did not indicate any substantial wear.

	Contact Light - a personal retrospective of Project Apollo
		The Apollo project was dealt a major setback in early 1967 with the tragic Apollo 1 fire and death of its crewmen during training, and it wasn't until October of 1968 (23 months after the final Gemini flight) that manned missions resumed with the launch of earth orbital mission Apollo 7.
		Apollo 15 was on its way to the moon, carrying with it a new vehicle...the Lunar Rover.
		Apollo 17 set records for total duration of lunar EVA's (22 hours), distance driven with the LRV (36 km.) and lunar samples collected (254 lbs.), and brought the manned lunar landing missions to conclusion in grand fashion with a spectacular televised lunar liftoff.

	APOLLO REALITY
		I would also like to point out to pro Apollo nutters that the art of manipulating photo's and moving film is as old as photography and film itself.
		If the pro Apollo nutters disagree, then perhaps they could direct me to a video or film showing how the feat was, or could be accomplished.
		In another video sequence of Apollo 17 astronauts supposedly cavorting on the Moon, one of them is actually suspended 2 feet off, and at right angles to, the ground.

		Al Worden, overflying in Apollo 15, had photographed the Taurus-Littrow site as one of a number of possible landing sites and spotted boulders at the base of the massifs with tracks that could be traced back to their points of origin on the high slopes of the massifs.
		NASA was hosting students from seventy countries during the Apollo 17 mission and the rock he held, which was to become known as the 'Goodwill Rock', was to be divided among them to be taken back to their respective national museums.

		By the time Apollo 17: End of the Beginning concludes with the welcoming ceremony on the deck of the USS Ticonderoga, you almost get the sense that you've been on the mission yourself.
		Also at Station 2, EVA 2, it's hard to tell if Schmitt is grumpy or just matter-of-fact when he tells Cernan flatly that mission control can't appreciate the grade of slope they're trying to negotiate, so it'll be up to them to rely the information back to Earth.
		Apollo 17, the mission, was arguably the most successful of the Moon voyages, and Apollo 17, the DVD set, is the most complete record of a mission in the Spacecraft Films catalog.
