This image speaks volumes for the fulfillment of a goal. That Apollo 12 astronauts Conrad and Bean landed close enough to Surveyor III to take this photo is truly stunning.
Astronauts on the Moon were really far from home, expressed with this single image of Jack Schmitt from Apollo 17.
Landing on the Moon was, to many, the greatest human achievement yet, and this image of Buzz Aldrin from Apollo 11 cemented that idea in public memory.
When faced with a broken fender on their rover, Cernan and Schmitt worked with help from 386,243 kilometers (240,000 miles) away to fashion a solution that would keep their travels less messy.
Apollo 16 carried the first telescope that operated on another planetary body. The final three Apollo missions in particular were about gathering loads of scientific information for decades worth of research.
That’s a really big boulder and a really small rover next to it. Look closely and you’ll see the effect of the steep grade on the front right tire of the rover during the Apollo 17 mission. Astronauts explored a very challenging environment.
Not only is there a striking contrast in colors in this photograph of Jim Irwin from Apollo 15, but the contrast between human, technology, and the lunar landscape is intense.
Landing a lunar module on the Moon wasn’t easy, and this shows the force of impact of just one of the four lander legs on Apollo 14.

The accomplishments of the Apollo 11 crew and the five crews that landed after them are evidenced by the scientific, engineering, and photographic yield, which are still studied today. What they left behind on the Moon remains a landmark of a unique period in human history.
After Apollo 17, NASA scheduled three more missions to the Moon—18, 19 and 20—but those were subsequently grounded. The truth about why, however, isn't stranger than fiction.

List of Apollo astronauts. As part of the Apollo program by NASA, 24 astronauts flew nine missions to the Moon between December 1968 and December 1972. During six successful two-man landing missions, twelve men walked on the lunar surface, six of whom drove Lunar Roving Vehicles as part of the last three missions.
