-Dr. Harrison 'Jack' Schmitt

A view of Apollo 17 in the context of what is left to learn and accomplish on the Moon with an eye to science, settlement, and providing energy for the Earth.

At the Space Center Lecture Series on March 13,2008 Dr. Schmitt shared his experience with the Apollo 17 mission, lunar resource utilization, and his thoughts on the future of lunar science and exploration. The Apollo 17 mission was the last of the great campaigns to the moon and included the longest lunar surface interval of any mission in history.

bullshit, look read this...THEY WENT 6 FUCKING TIMES! doesnt take einstien to really get to grips with the fact,anyone who denies this is really backward and needs some education in science and physics

[laughingskulls23]

firewilson shut the fuck up, hundreds of people saw the space ship blast off, rock samples were found, the government doesnt give a flying fuck about what we know, all they care about is that there wallets are fat, guess what, area fifty one is probably radioactive, and they dont feel like getting sued for some nimwit geting cancer from being there,

[yesiamawizardjonny]

@MrDarcyzPP sure, sure. is that what your therapist told you to say to us, normal people? and how is the green monster under your bed?

[MrDarcyzPP]

@Frye666 Dude, you obviously are interested, otherwise you'd just watch the fucking video and pay no attention to comments that you don't agree with.

[MrDarcyzPP]

@laughingskulls23 mere hundreds saw it? I guess nobody actually gave a shit. Ratings were way down then. Hey, if the gov't doesn't give a fuck what "we" know, then is "top secret" just bullshit made up by movies? You think people will sue the gov't for something? You're a total fucking moron.

[MrDarcyzPP]

@cripplewoox Education in science and physics to watch videos? Are you high?  And this fucker STILL has wires holding him up...the reflection is obvious.

[rakgitarmen]

Damn cellphone ruins the sound.

[Frye666]
