50 years ago today, humans stepped off the Moon

This article has some great tidbits of information about Apollo 17.

Most of you don't know Jack Schmitt.

Schmitt was notable because he was initially slated to fly on Apollo 18, but after the mission was canceled, the community of lunar geologists pressured NASA to reassign Schmitt to a remaining flight arguing the importance of landing a geologist on the Moon. He bumped Joe Engle from the mission.

[He is the] only person without a background in military aviation to have walked on the Moon.

So hooray for geologists! Though I doubt Joe Engle was a fan.

dying to know...

a) ...secret moon base and we never left the moon.
b) ...the entire moon landing was fake and we never got there in the first place.

it proved to be so boring we decided never to go back, like a vacation in Nebraska, only more so.

Both. Humans faked the moon landing. Images you have seen were clearly filmed on a sound stage. How could the flag billow with no wind! Fake! However, the alien lizard people who have infiltrated the highest level of world governments do in fact have a base on the dark side of the moon. #FACTS
