Apollo 17 was the first night launch of a U.S. human spaceflight and the final manned launch of a Saturn V rocket, last use of the Lunar Module (LM) and also the third Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). Commander Gene Cernan and LM Pilot Harrison “Jack” Schmitt spent just over three days on the moon in the Taurus-Littrow valley and completed three moonwalks taking lunar samples and deploying scientific instruments. Schmitt was the first geologist in the Apollo program. Sadly, Gene Cernan passed away on January 16, 2017.
