History

The Apollo 17 mission marked the last time any human set foot on the moon. The mission took place from December 7th to December 19th, 1972. The crew consisted of Commander Eugene Cernan, Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt, and Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans. There were many significant achievements from this mission, including the largest lunar sample return

and the greatest number of lunar orbits. But culturally, perhaps the most significant moment in the mission occurred when the crew took a magnificent photograph of earth during the flight. Upon returning, The Blue Marble picture became an instant sensation and is now recognized as one of the most reproduced photographs ever taken.
