Harrison Schmitt Portrait of astronaut Eugene Cernan, the last explorer of another world, pictured with the U.S. flag and Lunar Rover during the last EVA on the lunar surface 14 December 1972 Vintage chromogenic print on resin-coated Kodak paper, 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in), NASA photo no AS17-140-21388, with THIS PAPER MANUFACTURED BY KODAK watermarks and NASA Kennedy Space Center caption on the verso Footnotes: A fantastic portrait of Cernan. His gold-plated visor reflects the photographer Harrison Schmitt, the Lunar Module, and the South Massif. Cernan is standing between the US flag and the Lunar Rover whose high-gain antenna is pointed at Earth. Wessex Cleft forms the skyline in the background. "Another hundred years may pass before we understand the true significance of Apollo. Lunar exploration was not the equivalent of an American pyramid, some idle monument to technology, but more of a Rosetta Stone, a key to unlocking dreams as yet undreamed." Eugene Cernan
