We're on our Way, Houston! The last time humans were on the Moon was December 1972 - nearly 32 years ago! The inspiration from that magnificent and audacious journey still burns bright in some folks. In 1998, Jim Scotti, a scientist and artist at the Lunar and Planetary Lab in Tucson, painted this view of the last liftoff. The painting is based on a photograph taken by Apollo 17 astronaut Jack Schmitt just before humans left the Moon. When will we witness a return to the Moon? And what language will those future explorers speak? And does it matter? Technical Details: Related Links: Yesterday's LPOD: Last Quarter Tomorrow's LPOD: More Discoveries near the Straight Wall |
