Apollo 17 was the final mission and it's goal was no different than the othe missions: science. The critical difference between 17 and the preceding missions was that 17 brought the first scientist to the moon. On all missions prior to 17 the crew consisted completely of test pilots who had received some basic training in geology and other sciences. On 17, Harrison Schmidt was a geologist who had recieved some training as a astronaut.
