STARTLING footage from the Apollo 17 space mission has resurfaced today, on the fifty-fifth anniversary of it becoming the last of the Apollo missions to land on the moon. The video shows members of the crew making repairs to their Lunar Rover on the surface of the moon as anxious members of staff at NASA???s mission control watch on via video link. The group of astronauts can also be seen exploring the surface of the moon, with the American flag planting in the background, as one of the crew pick up a small souvenir to take home. Finally, the Apollo craft can be seen making a crash landing in the sea on its return to Earth on December 19, marking the final act of the Apollo missions which had run from 1961 to 1972 with the aim of landing the first humans on the moon. mediadrumworld.com
