Apollo 17's clumsy-looking Challenger lunar module returns to its command module, America, after its trip to the moon in December 1972. The mission was the sixth and last lunar landing in the Apollo program, and Commander Eugene Cernan remains the last person to leave a footprint on the moon. Photograph courtesy NASA
