This photograph taken near the LM Challenger at the beginning of the last EVA on the lunar surface is one of the most iconic of the Apollo program.
“As I take man’s last step from the surface, back home for some time to come - but we believe not too long into the future - I’d like to just (say) what I believe history will record,” said Eugene Cernan at the end of the last lunar surface EVA (at 170:41:00 GET). “That America’s challenge of today has forged man’s destiny of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus-Littrow, 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”.
