Apollo 17: Taurus Littrow

On the Moon: Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt

In lunar orbit: Ronald Evans

TIME SINCE LAUNCH 118:08:02

— Oh, man. Hey, Jack, just stop. You owe yourself 30 seconds to look up over the South Massif and look at the Earth. — What? The Earth? — Just look up there. — Ah! You seen one Earth, you've seen them all.

145:26:25 — PYROCLASTICS

— Wait a minute . . . — What? — Where are the reflections? I've been fooled once. There is orange soil!! — Well, don't move it until I see it. — It's all over!! Orange!!! — Don't move until I see it. — I stirred it up with my feet. — He, it is!! I can see it from here! — It's orange! — Wait a minute, let me put my visor up. It's still orange! — Sure it is! Crazy! — Orange! — I've got to dig a trench, Houston. — Copy that. I guess we'd better work fast. — Hey, he's not going out of his wits. It really is. — Is it the same color as cheese?

170:41:00 — DEPARTURE

— Bob, this is Gene, and I'm on the surface; and, and I take man's last step from the surface, back home for some time to come – but we believe not too long into the future – I'd like to just [say] what I believe history will record. That America's challenge of today has forged man's density of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. "Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17."

Night Launch of Apollo 17

"The huge, 363-feet tall Apollo 17 (Spacecraft 114/Lunar Module 12/Saturn 512) space vehicle is launched from Pad A., Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida, at 12:33 a.m. (EST), Dec. 7, 1972. Apollo 17, the final lunar landing mission in NASA's Apollo program, was the first nighttime liftoff of the Saturn V launch vehicle. Aboard the Apollo 17 spacecraft were astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, commander; astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot; and scientist-astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt, lunar module pilot. Flame from the five F-1 engines of the Apollo/Saturn first (S-1C) stage illuminates the nighttime scene. A two-hour and 40-minute hold delayed the Apollo 17 launching."

Sen. Johnson to Newsmax: Birthright Citizenship Is Ridiculous

No matter what a federal judge rules, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Newsmax on Thursday he is opposed to birthright citizenship.

"I think birthright citizenship is ridiculous. We're one of the few nations that allow it," Johnson said on "Rob Schmitt Tonight."

A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's executive order ending the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship regardless of the parents' immigration status.

According to Reuters, Trump quickly responded by saying his administration will appeal the decision, a cornerstone of his planned efforts to rein in illegal immigration.

U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee, ruled in the case brought by the states of Washington, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon, which argue the 14th Amendment and Supreme Court case law have cemented birthright citizenship.

Johnson said conservative judges always apply the law as they read it.

"They're not out to alter the law," Johnson said. "This is the way he reads the law. So he's going to apply it. He's not going to alter it for his own political preference. This will have to work its way through the courts."

Johnson said the case could end up before the Supreme Court.

"If in the end, the Supreme Court rules, no, that's what the 14th Amendment says, we have to adhere to it and tell Congress and the American people to ratify a new constitutional amendment," Johnson said. "This will be adjudicated through the courts. That was really the purpose of the executive order, to start the adjudication of this through the courts, and in the end, we'll get a final ruling on this and we'll determine if we want to change that again."

Regresa con éxito a la Tierra la tripulación del Apolo XVII, compuesta por el comandante y veterano de la misión Gemini 9 y Apolo X, Eugene A. Cernan, el piloto del módulo lunar y geólogo, Harrison H. Schmitt y el piloto del módulo de mando Ronald E. Evans, al amerizar en el Oceáno Pacífico, tras una misión que ha durado 301 horas, 51 minutos y 59 segundos y ha sido la última del proyecto Apolo (que ha logrado envíar a 12 hombres a la Luna) y también la última misión tripulada a nuestro satélite en mucho tiempo. El objetivo inicial del proyecto Apolo fue llevar a un ser humano a la Luna antes de que lo hicieran los soviéticos, demostrando a la vez la posibilidad de establecer bases lunares permanentes al tiempo que se instalaban complejos instrumentos de medición para el estudio selenológico, algunos de cuyos aparatos aún continuarán prestando servicio a los científicos durante mucho tiempo. Gene Cernan se convierte por tanto en el último ser humano en pisar la superficie de la Luna en el siglo XX, en la zona de los Montes Taurus, junto al Cráter Littrow, en la frontera entre el Mare Tranquillitatis y el Mare Serenitatis.

The six and last successful manned lunar landing and return to Earth mission, Apollo 17, carrying a crew of three astronauts: Schmitt; Mission Commander Eugene Cernan; and Command Module pilot Ronald Evans, lifted off on December 7, 1972

I love these pics being young we marvelled at man's achievements, two massive superpowers vying for space superiority ! Its such a shame ppl don't believe that this happened as if just because some of us struggle with a computer and modern tech they think the elder generation can't be as intelligent as them 🤭🤪🙈

Erste eActros 300 Sattelzugmaschine in Deutschland an Logistik Schmitt übergeben – Serienstart Ende des Jahres

Leinfelden-Echterdingen / Gaggenau – Die erste in Deutschland ausgelieferte Mercedes-Benz eActros 300 Sattelzugmaschine ist an Logistik Schmitt gegangen. Der im Rahmen einer Kleinserie gefertigte E-Lkw wurde von Ronald Ott, Leiter Vertrieb Lkw Mercedes-Benz und FUSO Deutschland, an Rainer Schmitt, geschäftsführender Gesellschafter von Logistik Schmitt, übergeben. Das im badischen Bietigheim ansässige Familienunternehmen wird den E-Lkw zunächst für den Transport von Motoren zwischen seinem Logistikstandort in Germersheim und dem 25 km entfernten Mercedes-Benz Werk Wörth im Mehrschichtbetrieb einsetzen. Später soll auch das Motorenwerk in Mannheim in die Route mit aufgenommen werden. Insgesamt sechs eActros 300 Sattelzugmaschinen wird der Logistiker in einem ersten Schritt in seinem Fuhrpark aufnehmen. Das erste Fahrzeug der Kleinserie des eActros 300 als Sattelzugmaschine wurde bereits im Juni 2023 an den niederländischen Lebensmittellogistiker Simon Loos übergeben. Offizieller Serienstart dieser Variante des eActros 300 ist Ende des Jahres. Ronald Ott: „Logistik Schmitt ist bereits seit 2019 ein wichtiger Partner für die Erprobung des eActros. Vom ersten Prototyp bis hin zum elektrischen Gliederzug – Logistik Schmitt hat die Entwicklungsschritte des E-Lkw mit intensiven Tests begleitet. Umso mehr freuen wir uns, dass das Unternehmen den eActros nun fest in seinen Fuhrpark aufnimmt.“ Rainer Schmitt: „Der eActros für den Verteilerverkehr hat sein Können im Einsatz bei uns über die letzten Jahre unter Beweis gestellt. Für unsere Entscheidung, nun auch die Variante als Sattelzugmaschine zu erwerben, war das Gesamtkonzept von Mercedes-Benz Trucks samt e-spezifischer Beratung ausschlaggebend.“ Entscheidend für den erfolgreichen Betrieb der E-Fahrzeuge ist aber auch die Verfügbarkeit von Lademöglichkeiten. Das Logistikunternehmen hat bereits frühzeitig an seinen Standorten mit dem Aufbau einer passenden Landeinfrastruktur begonnen. Auch im Werk Wörth stehen entsprechende Ladestationen an den Abladepunkten zur Verfügung.                                                  Die eActros 300 Sattelzugmaschine basiert auf derselben Technologie wie der eActros 300/400 als Pritschenfahrgestell-Variante, der bereits seit 2021 in Serie ist. Drei Batteriepakete mit jeweils 112 kWh installierter Batteriekapazität ermöglichen eine Reichweite mit einer Batterieaufladung von bis zu 220 km. Der eActros 300 kann mit bis zu 160 kW geladen werden: Die drei Batteriepakete benötigen an einer üblichen DC-Schnellladesäule mit 400 A Ladestrom etwas mehr als eine Stunde, um von 20 auf 80 Prozent geladen zu werden. Nennkapazität einer neuen Batterie, basierend auf intern definierten Rahmenbedingungen. Diese kann je nach Anwendungsfall und Umgebungsbedingungen variieren. Die Reichweite wurde unter optimalen Bedingungen, u.a. mit 3 Batteriepaketen nach Vorkonditionierung im teilbeladenen Verteilerverkehr mit Sattelanhänger bei 20°C Außentemperatur, intern ermittelt. Der eActros kann mit bis zu 160 kW geladen werden: Die drei Batteriepakete benötigen basierend auf intern ermittelten Erfahrungswerten unter optimalen Bedingungen, unter anderem bei einer Umgebungstemperatur von 20°C an einer üblichen DC-Schnellladesäule mit 400 A Ladestrom etwas mehr als eine Stunde, um von 20 auf 80% geladen zu werden.
