Fifty-two years ago, geologist Harrison H. "Jack" Schmitt became the first scientist-astronaut to land on the Moon during Apollo 17- the longest and final mission of NASA's Apollo program. Across three days on the lunar surface, Schmitt explored the rough terrain of the Taurus-Littrow valley to conduct scientific investigations and collect moon rock samples.
