Title
Cernan Jump Salutes Flag
Full Description
Eugene A. Cernan, Commander, Apollo 17 salutes the flag on the lunar surface
during extravehicular activity (EVA) on NASA's final lunar landing mission.
The Lunar Module "Challenger" is in the left background behind the flag and the
Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) also in background behind him. While
astronauts Cernan and Schmitt descended in the Challenger to explore the
Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans, Command Module
