Lot Essay

The crew had just extracted and activated the Lunar Rover and Gene Cernan can be seen giving it a test drive.
“This was successful to the relief of the crew, as it was planned that Apollo 17 would be making longer traverses than any of the previous Apollo missions” (Constantine, p. 120).

117:47:50 Cernan: Okay. I can’t see the rear ones, but I know the front ones turn. And it does move. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Houston! Challenger’s baby is on the roll.
