Video from the channel Astronomia Real about Apollo 17, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 2:34. Language: Portuguese. Video type: Documentary.

Short educational video in Portuguese about Apollo 17, the last mission to take astronauts to the Moon. According to the presenter, it launched on 7 December 1972, was the only mission in the program launched at night, and lasted 12 days.

The crew consisted of Eugene Cernan, who on Apollo 10 had already descended to 15 km from the lunar surface without landing; geologist Harrison "Jack" Schmitt, the first scientist to visit the Moon, and Ronald Evans, who remained in orbit in the command module. The lunar landing took place on 11 December.

The video reviews the mission's records: about 75 hours on the surface, about 22 hours of activity outside the spacecraft spread over three moonwalks, about 36 km covered by the rover, and about 111 kg of samples. It also recalls the improvised repair with adhesive tape of a broken piece of the rover, which held up for the rest of the mission.
