Man on the moon

The last person on the moon was Eugene Cernan. He and fellow explorer Harrison Schmidt left the moon at 5.40, December 13th 1972 and no one has been to the moon ever since.

This black and white picture was taken from a color television transmission made by the color RCA TV camera mounted on the Lunar Roving Vehicle. Astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules in lunar orbit.
Harrison is in front with Eugene behind.
