Apollo 17 lifts off for last 20th century moon voyage
Apollo 17 men led by Eugene Cernan, Jack Schmitt, and Ronald Evans blasted from Cape Kennedy to begin the final U.S. moon mission. They faced a delayed start due to a faulty alarm system and latch issues, but mission control reported they would compensate with a faster return trajectory. Aboard, Schmitt became the first American scientist in space, and Nixon sent a personal message of encouragement as the crew began a six hour rest period after launch.
