Via @apolloprogram – Apollo 17 mission commander Gene Cernan makes a short checkout of the Lunar Roving Vehicle during the early part of the first Apollo 17 extravehicular activity at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. This view of the lunar rover prior to loadup was taken by Lunar Module pilot Jack Schmitt. The mountain in the right background is the east end of South Massif.
