Harrison H Schmitt (Born 3rd July 1935) who flew with Apollo 17, is the most recent living person to have walked on the surface of the Moon. He was the 12th 'Moonwalker'.
Harrison H Schmitt was a pivotal figure in the NASA space programme and the Apollo 17 mission. Born on July 3, 1935, Schmitt is not only an American geologist but also a former NASA astronaut, university professor, and former U.S. senator from New Mexico. As the most recent living person to have walked on the Moon and the only one without a background in military aviation, Schmitt's legacy is unparalleled.
In December 1972, Schmitt made history as a crew member of Apollo 17, NASA's final manned mission to the Moon. This extraordinary mission marked the culmination of the Apollo programme and cemented Schmitt's status as the first scientist-astronaut to venture into space. As part of the Apollo 17 crew, Schmitt became the twelfth person and the second-youngest to set foot on the lunar surface, leaving an indelible mark on the annals of space exploration.
This signed photograph captures a momentous chapter in human history, showcasing Schmitt's pioneering journey beyond Earth's boundaries. As the only professional scientist to have flown beyond low Earth orbit and visited the Moon, Schmitt's contributions to lunar exploration are unparalleled. With his profound influence within the geology community supporting the Apollo programme, Schmitt played a vital role in shaping our understanding of the lunar landscape.
