Eugene Cernan, Apollo 17, 1972 C016 / 6371
Eugene Cernan, Apollo 17. Artwork of US and NASA astronaut Eugene Cernan (born 1934) saluting the US flag (Lunar Flag Assembly) left on the Moon during the Apollo 17 mission. The flag had a horizontal strut to support it on the airless Moon. This mission, the last Apollo mission, landed in the Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon. Cernans co-lander was US astronaut Harrison Schmitt. They explored the area for three days (11-14 December 1972). Cernan was the last person to walk on the Moon. His departing words were: we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a defining moment in human history - Eugene Cernan, an American astronaut, saluting the US flag on the Moon's surface during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. The artwork showcases Cernan's unwavering patriotism and allegiance to his country as he stands beside the Lunar Flag Assembly, which was equipped with a horizontal strut to support it in the airless lunar environment. Apollo 17 marked not only the last manned mission to land on the Moon but also Cernan's final steps as he became the last person to walk on its surface. His departure words echoed a sense of hope and peace for all mankind, emphasizing humanity's potential for exploration and technological advancement. The image symbolizes more than just a historical event; it represents our relentless pursuit of knowledge and our ability to push boundaries beyond what was once thought possible. It serves as a reminder of America's significant contribution to space exploration during the intense Space Race era of the mid-20th century. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of both our achievements and aspirations as a species.
