Lua – 1972

Harrison “Jack” Schmitt – the only trained scientist to have walked on the moon, so far. Born in Santa Rita, New Mexico, he was a geologist for the U.S. Geological Survey, and other entities, when he joined NASA in 1965 along with a group of other scientists. He became the 12th and last man to walk on the moon. His mission was the 6th and final manned flight to the moon, Apollo 17, in 1972.

Apollo 17 was also the longest manned mission to remain on the lunar surface. During three days in December 1972, Schmitt and two other astronauts explored the moon.
