what was the last time someone walked on the moon
Apollo 17 Apollo 17 is the most recent manned Moon landing and was the last time humans travelled beyond low Earth orbit.[3][4] It was also the first mission to be commanded by a person with no background as a test pilot, and the first to have no one on board who had been a test pilot; X-15 test pilot Joe Engle lost the lunar module pilot assignment to Schmitt, a scientist.[5] The mission broke several records: the longest moon landing, longest total extravehicular activities (moonwalks),[6] largest lunar sample, and longest time in lunar orbit.[7]
