“The Apollo 17 Saturn V space vehicle vents liquid oxygen during the Countdown Demonstration Test for dress rehearsal for launch. The fully fueled vehicle was counted down to a mock liftoff during the “wet” portion of the test, conducted Nov. 20. After the cryogenic propellants on board the spacecraft were detanked, astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, Ronald E. Evans and Harrison H. Schmitt boarded their spacecraft the following day to participate in the “dry” portion of CDDT, which included simulated ignition and liftoff. They will be launched to the Moon Dec. 6, 1972.”
