“The Apollo 17 space vehicle was moved today from the Vehicle Assembly Building to complex 39’s Pad A. in preparation for its launch with Astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, Commander; Ronald A. Evans, Command Module Pilot; and Dr. Harrison H. “Jack” Schmitt, Lunar Module Pilot, on the sixth U.S. manned lunar landing mission on December, 1972.
Excellent weather for the rollout of humankind’s last mission to the lunar surface. The beautiful blue sky & distinct puffy clouds made for great aesthetics…not that the Saturn V needs any ‘enhancement’.
August 1972…damn, that was a LONG time ago.
