Apollo 14/STS-4 is the last Apollo mission and final test of the Shuttle. Any target could have proven Shuttle's rendezvous capabilities, but enough pieces were leftover to build Apollo 14, and the symbolism of the past and future of spaceflight meeting was too great to pass up.

51 years ago this week, the astronauts of Apollo 17 left the moon. I love this shot of Gene Cernan in the LM preparing for the ascent. The last Apollo astronaut to leave footprints in lunar soil, he looks shattered. Tested and pushed to the limit - but mission accomplished.

Never gets old watching launches from my front yard. This one has the first Lunar Lander that will actually attempt to land on the moon since the last Apollo some 50 years ago. 🚀 🌕
