Apollo 17 launch countdown, Press-site view, Kennedy Space Center, 6h40 p.m. EST, December 6, 1972

This is the last time that NASA sends humans to the moon. You look Saturn-5 moon rocket that will make a fantastic show with this launch night. Currently, technicians are fuelling the tanks of the most powerful rocket in the world. The countdown continues ... We see now from Press-site view (3 miles), the launch pad with Apollo 17 and of several powerful searchlights. It is a vision that I'll remember all my life. We are witnessing a great historic event.
