- A spaceflight disaster was narrowly avoided in 1972. A series of intense solar flares exploded in August, just months before the launch of Apollo 17. Any astronauts on the moon at that time would have died from radiation. As NASA's new lunar missions progress, the threat of radiation still looms. https://www.supercluster.com/editorial/the-threat-of-space-radiation 7 comments futurology

- 50 Years Ago, NASA Put a Car on the Moon. The lunar rovers of Apollo 15, 16, and 17 parked American automotive culture on the lunar surface, and expanded the scientific range of the missions’ astronaut explorers. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/27/science/lunar-rover-apollo-nasa.html 234 comments space
- Apollo 11 flight controller Bill Moon was the son of Chinese immigrants and started at NASA when he was just 23. Moon would go on to be the lead the Electrical, Environmental, and Communications controller for Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 https://www.click2houston.com/apollo/2019/07/18/bill-moon-youve-never-seen-teamwork-like-you-have-at-nasa/ 9 comments space
- NASA just handed scientists three untouched Apollo Moon rocks for analysis. In the nearly 50 years since the pristine samples were collected (during Apollo 15, 16, and 17), they've never been exposed to Earth's atmosphere. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2019/03/50-years-later-nasa-just-handed-scientists-untouched-apollo-moon-rocks 94 comments space

- Apollo 17 Astronaut Harrison Schmitt and other scientists strongly advocated Tsiolkovskiy crater on the far side of the Moon as the landing site of Apollo 17. It possesses high, terraced inner walls and a well-formed central peak rising 3200m but NASA vetoed the idea as too risky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovskiy_(crater) 308 comments space
- In response to the film "Apollo 18", NASA engineer John Schuessler clarified that moon landings ended with Apollo 17 because NASA simply did not have the time or funds to fit in more moon landings after 1972. He also sees no evidence of extraterrestrial life on the Moon https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/moon-mars/a7166/why-apollo-really-stopped-at-17/ 78 comments space
