	Harrison Schmitt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harrison Hagan "Jack" Schmitt (born July 3, 1935) is a geologist, astronaut and former U.S. senator.
		Because Schmitt was the only geologist in the astronaut corps and, as well, had spent considerable time becoming proficient in the CSM and LM systems, it came as no surprise when, in March 1970, he became the first of the scientist-astronauts to receive a crew assignment.
		Schmitt was portrayed by Tom Amandes in the 1998 miniseries From the Earth to the Moon.

	Where on the Moon is Jack Schmitt's Hammer?
		One of the last things that Harrison H. "Jack" Schmitt did while on the surface of the moon at the end of the last lunar EVA of the Apollo program was to throw their one and only Geology hammer off into the distance.
		Here (AS17-143-21941) is an image from the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal showing Jack Schmitt most likely right after throwing his hammer off in the general direction of the ALSEP site to the west of the LM.
		First, look at AS17-143-21938 to see Gene Cernan's first image after the hammer throw (sorry, there are no images of Schmitt actually in mid throw, except possibly a distant video image taken by the TV camera on the rover).
