APOLLO 17 - EXPLORING TAURUS LITTROW Large color photograph, 16 by 20 inches SIGNED and INSCRIBED by GENE CERNAN: "GENE CERNAN, Apollo XVII" The Apollo 17 mission—of which Cernan was commander—garnered a number of record-setting achievements. These included three EVAs—Extravehicular activity—totaling about 22 hours of exploration of the Taurus-Littrow valley. Cernan and Schmitt covered from that 22 miles using the Lunar Rover, and collected a record 75 pounds of geologic samples. Cernan piloted the rover on its final run, during which he clocked a maximum speed of 11.2 mph, giving him the (unofficial) lunar land speed record.
