Last Footprints on the Moon: Apollo 17 Lands at Taurus–Littrow (1972)
On December 11, 1972, the lunar module Challenger of Apollo 17 touched down in the Taurus–Littrow valley. It was the last time humans landed on the Moon. Commander Gene Cernan and geologist-astronaut Harrison Schmitt spent three days exploring the surface, while Ronald Evans orbited above in the command module.
The mission pushed Apollo to its scientific peak, longer moonwalks, more samples, and a trained geologist doing fieldwork on another world. When Cernan climbed the ladder to leave, he became (so far) the last person to stand on the lunar surface, closing a chapter of human exploration that hasn’t yet been reopened.
