No jeszcze zabawkami latali do 1975 roku. Potem jedna (ostatni Saturn 5) poszła na wystawę rakiet a reszta do gablot ;-) Potem był show z skrzydlakami

50 Years Ago: Apollo 17 Post Mission Activities
Jan 4, 2023

Following their highly successful mission, the last Apollo Moon landing flight, Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, Ronald E. Evans ,and Harrison H. “Jack” Schmitt, the first trained geologist to explore the Moon, embarked on a highly ambitious domestic and international tour. In the United States, they visited 53 cities in 29 states in 11 weeks. They spoke before the House of Representatives, visited the White House, met with state governors, and returned to NASA field centers and the manufacturers of their spacecraft to personally thank employees. The month-long Presidential goodwill tour in the spirit of Apollo took them to 11 countries in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. Cernan, Evans, and Schmitt closed out the year by presenting to Mission Control the American flag they flew to the Moon and back. (...)

Looking for ideas for spring break? How about 3D printing your own Apollo geology tools used by astronaut and geologist Harrison Schmitt?! Over 50 years ago, @NASA designed tools specifically for the Apollo missions to collect rock & soil samples from the lunar surface. When we return to the Moon under #Artemis, @NASA_Astronauts will use similar tools to collect lunar samples & conduct scientific research. You can find the collection of Apollo 17 geology tools to 3D print here: http://go.nasa.gov/3Vee1gV

Z jednej strony fajnie sobie pooglądać te historyczne miejsca, z drugiej jest to wyjątkowo smutne, że przez pół wieku nie zrobiono żadnego znaczącego kroku w załogowej eksploracji.
