| The prime crew for the Apollo 17 lunar landing mission are: Commander, Eugene A. Cernan (seated), Command Module pilot Ronald E. Evans (standing on right), and Lunar Module pilot, Harrison H. Schmitt. They are photographed with a Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) trainer. Cernan and Schmitt will use an LRV during their exploration of the Taurus-Littrow landing site. The Apollo 17 Saturn V Moon rocket is in the background. This picture was taken at Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Centre (KSC), Florida. The Apollo 17 emblem is in the photo insert upper left hand corner. |

10 x 12 Apollo 17 on the launch pad at night with full Moon overhead. 21 November 1972 |
| The caption for this photo supplied by NASA indicates that this photo was taken on 6 December 1972, a few hours before launch. On that night, the moon was actually was a crescent and, if the date is right, the full moon was added - for artistic effect - by double exposure or some other technique. After much research I believe that photo was actually taken exactly two weeks previous on the night of a full moon. This photo was shot from the east looking west so by all accounts this was taken the two weeks previously and in the early hours of that morning. So I do believe that the Moon here was not added for effect but is real and only the NASA description date is wrong. It should be 21 November 1972. I will welcome any comments regarding these findings. |

| View of the Earth as seen by the Apollo 17 crew travelling toward the Moon. This translunar coast photograph extends from the Mediterranean Sea area to the Antarctica South polar ice cap. This is the first time the Apollo trajectory made it possible to photograph the South polar ice cap. Note the heavy cloud cover in the Southern Hemisphere. Almost the entire coastline of Africa is clearly visible. The Arabian Peninsula can be seen at the North Eastern edge of Africa. The large island off the coast of Africa is the Malagasy Republic. The Asian mainland is on the horizon toward the Northeast. |
