Fifty years ago, today, Apollo 17 took off for the moon, the last of the Apollo series. Today, fifty years later, Apollo’s twin sister Artemis is on her way back from her first trip to the moon. To mark the occasion, here are the artifacts I have on display at work that flew on Apollo 17: annotated flight documents, tools used on the lunar surface, maps used on the lunar rovers and even a large piece of the lunar module meant to be left behind.
