Apollo 17 LUNAR SURFACE CHECKLIST PAGES
NOTES MADE BY GENE CERNAN AND HARRISON SCHMITT WHILST PREPARING TO LEAVE THE SURFACE OF THE MOON.
The displayed Apollo 17 lunar surface checklists shown below were used by astronauts Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt in the final
45 minutes prior to their ascent from the lunar surface. These consecutive checklists have notes on them made by both astronauts
whilst inside the lunar module which are some of the last writing made by man on his voyages to the moon. It is fascinating to
know that these checklists were actually instrumental in leading to the successful conclusion of what could be considered mankind's
greatest adventure.
