This photograph shows Captain Eugene Cernan and his wife waving to the welcoming committee at Karachi International Airport. Astronauts of the Apollo 17 mission Eugene Cernan (commander), Ronald E. Evans (command module pilot) and Harrison H. Schmitt (lunar module pilot) visited Pakistan from June 17 to June 19 in 1973. They met with Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and presented lunar samples to him.
Apollo 17 was the last Apollo mission to land men on the moon. It carried the only trained geologist to walk on the lunar surface - Harrison Schmitt. Compared to previous missions, Apollo 17 astronauts traversed the greatest distance using the Lunar Roving Vehicle and returned the greatest amount of rock and soil samples. Eugene Cernan, commander of Apollo 17, still holds the distinction of being the last man to walk on the moon, as no humans have visited since December 14, 1972.
