AI overview
Apollo 17 was the final crewed Moon landing mission in 1972, during which astronauts Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt walked on the lunar surface while Ronald Evans orbited above. The mission is historically significant as the last time humans have visited the Moon and because it prioritized scientific research, notably including Schmitt, the only professional geologist to land there, and various experiments designed to advance lunar knowledge.
