At 5:55 EST on December 14, 1972,* the excursion crew of Apollo 17, Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt, lifted off from the Moon on their return trip home.
Back then, I would have never thought that there would not have been another human to set foot on the Moon, if not Mars, in the next forty years (and probably sixty years, if even that).
I saw the first man to walk on the Moon. I would have never guessed that I also watched the last two men to walk on the Moon.
