Why is Apollo 17 important?

Answer 1

Apollo 17 is important because it was, unfortunately, the last NASA mission to land men on the moon. It took place in December 1972. It set records for longest lunar mission, and longest work time on the moon. Eugene Cernan was the last man to walk on the moon.

Answer 2

Apollo 17 was the final mission of NASA's Apollo program and the last time humans have been on the Moon. It marked the first time that a scientist, geologist Harrison Schmitt, was part of the crew, providing valuable insights into lunar geology. The mission also set numerous records, including the longest manned lunar landing flight and the longest total extravehicular activities on the Moon.
