Live From the Moon!
The picture may have been grainy, but it was some of the most riveting TV of the 1960s.

Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt of Apollo 17 were the last men to walk on the moon. During one excursion, Schmittâs vision became impaired from scratches on his visor; when he lifted the protective gold layer his face was visible in the TV images--a rare event, and a reminder that humans were able to achieve superhuman feats.
For more information on the Apollo missions, check out the Apollo Flight Journal and the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal.

John Young and Gene Cernan on Apollo 17? This photo is mislabeled! It's either Charlie Duke or Jack Schmidt. Jack Schmidt if this is Apollo 17 with Gene Cernan. EDITORS' REPLY: You're right! We will research it and fix it. Thank you.
