Apollo 17 was the final mission of NASA's Apollo program. It was the only mission to include a geologist, Harrison Schmitt, among the crew. The mission successfully completed three moonwalks, collected a record amount of lunar samples, and returned safely to Earth.
Apollo 1 and its crew were destroyed in a fire while still on the pad weeks before the mission was scheduled to launch. While there were changes in NASA brought about by this tragedy, there were technically no mission accomplishments as the mission never took place.
Apollo 16 was a manned mission to the moon in 1972, but it was not a lander. The mission included a lunar module that landed on the moon, which was used to explore the lunar surface by the astronauts.
There were a total of 17 Apollo missions, with Apollo 7 being the first manned mission and Apollo 17 being the final mission that landed on the Moon.
Charles M. Duke, Jr - was the pilot for the lunar module on the Apollo 16 mission. It was Charles M. Duke, Jr's only spaceflight to date. Apollo 16 was the 10th manned mission to the Moon.
