In December of 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spent about 75 hours on the Moon in the Taurus-Littrow valley, while colleague Ronald Evans orbited overhead. This sharp image was taken by Cernan as he and Schmitt roamed the valley floor. The image shows Schmitt on the left with the lunar rover at the edge of Shorty Crater, near the spot where geologist Schmitt discovered orange lunar soil.
Beautiful work from Kubrick…
ReplyDeleteCan barely make out the Hollywood sign in the very back. (Don't look....it is not there. Saving you some time.)
ReplyDeleteAZ, NM, or UT?

ReplyDeleteWhat is the greatest challenge in getting people to Mars?
Elon Musk:
Developing a effective way to safely get them through the
Van Ryan Radiation Belt without killing them.
No such thing as a Van Ryan Radiation Belt
DeleteAnd the earth is flat
DeleteThe Mandela effect strikes again!
DeleteVan Allen. And Anon 3:21pm. Your head is flat
DeleteWe can safely get thru the Van Allen radiation belts, but the problem is you need to completely cover the outside of the space-craft with "space-travel isn't real" proponents. It's something about the high levels of copium & BS-420 in their systems. This is why the "space isn't real" meme is currently being pushed so hard; SpaceX and other groups are building up material stockpiles for vehicle construction.
ReplyDeleteWow. I’m surprised the number of comments here doubting the Apollo lunar missions.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. There are technical hurdles, but there are also solutions to all of them.
DeleteMy aunt worked for Gene Kranz at Johnson Space center, and my high school classmate married Gene Cernan's daughter.
get used to it ...
DeleteLots of people working. My father in law was chief engineer at Rockwell during it all.. It WAS a GIANT JOBS PROGRAM after all. Doesn't mean anyone went beyond low earth orbit. MKULTRA took care of the astronauts.
DeleteOh, you're one of those people who believe the Moon is REAL?
Deleteon the effing Von Ryan Express - along with Frank
ReplyDeleteUh huh…
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone here doubt that mankind has put unmanned probes on other planets? Also, is the skepticism just about humans and animals or spacecraft in general traveling through the Van Allen belt?
ReplyDeleteDevon Island in Hudson's Bay Canada looks SUSPICIOUSLY like the images being sent back from the "mars rover." GOVERNMENTS LIE. THAT IS WHAT THEY DO. Money moves, some is spent, some is sent to Cayman Island bank accounts, CGI and remote islands/deserts takes care of the rest.
DeleteFanatical ignorance reigns.
ReplyDeleteHard to believe people still believe that the Apollo program was real … gosh, we didn’t even have smart phones back then
ReplyDeleteStunning. Just stunning.
ReplyDeleteRead about those two, how they found the orange lunar dust, they said it was actually tiny glass balls created from heat of an asteroid smacking the regolith. They sure got excited seeing it, amazed them to no end. Can understand that. Go all that way to discover it must been a eureka moment on every level.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous, I never got to do that & I'm sad that after this trip we just stopped.
ReplyDeleteNadler and Schiff have, and have seen, the actual Pee Tapes. Ep killed himself. Oswald acted 100% alone. COVID came from bats naturally. Who is 100% sure that what we are told is true? It is likely that we went to the moon. By now, considering incredible leaps in computing power and materials, you would think trips to the moon would be easy. Likely we went however at the time it was great propaganda to say we went.
