Answer 2

Apollo 17 was the sixth and last Apollo mission in which humans walked on the lunar surface. On 11 December 1972 two astronauts (Commander Eugene A. Cernan and LM pilot Harrison H. Schmitt, the first scientist on the Moon) landed in the Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon in the Lunar Module (LM) while the Command and Service Module (CSM) (with CM pilot Ronald E. Evans) continued in lunar orbit. During their stay on the Moon, the astronauts set up scientific experiments, took photographs, and collected lunar samples.

Answer 3

3 astronauts died in Apollo a million, in a fireplace on the launch pad for the duration of a venture simulation. i won't be in a position to bear in mind there being a 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, nevertheless those designations have been in all probability utilized in unmanned testing. Apollo 7 exchange into an Earth orbital venture, to evaluation out the command and repair modules. Apollo 8 exchange right into a lunar orbital venture, yet no attempt exchange into made to land. it is the venture on which the well known "Earthrise" photograph exchange into taken, with our planet turning out to be from at the back of the moon. Apollo 9 exchange into lower back Earth orbit basically, yet this time, they delivered alongside a lunar module to evaluation out the rendezvous and docking of the two vessels. next, Apollo 10, exchange into an entire-gown "prepare consultation" of a lunar landing, to make certain that one and all the aspects worked suitable in lunar orbit. Apollo 11 exchange into, of direction, the 1st effectual landing and return, observed by utilising yet another success with Apollo 12, then 13, which had a difficulty on a thank you to the moon, and lost maximum of its oxygen. The related lunar module exchange into used as a lifeboat, and the astronauts have been basically a splash waiting to make it lower back alive. simply by fact the astronauts survived, yet did not land, the venture exchange into observed as "a effectual failure". the ideal 4 in the Apollo sequence have been numbers 14, 15, sixteen, and 17, all of that have been effectual. Twelve men have walked on the moon, and all back to Earth, so no, Neil Armstrong isn't on the instant up there.

Answer 4

Apollo 17 in1972

Answer 5

apollo 17 was the last mission, gene cernan was the last man on the moon.

Answer 6

'Twas Apollo 17 indeed.

And although Gene Cernan was the last person to step off the lunar surface, Jack Schmitt claims he was the last person to step on to the surface as he followed Cernan out of the LM thus becoming the 12th and (so far) last person to walk on the Moon.
