The Apollo program was not only about getting to the moon and
back, but making the best possible scientific observations once
there. "Do we take test pilots and teach them geology or do we
take geologists and teach them to fly?" was the question. The
answer, in typical NASA fashion, was to create a team of both.

Eugene A. Cernan handing yet another sample bag to Lunar
Module Pilot and Doctor of Geology Harrison "Jack" Schmitt on
the Taurus-Littrow Valley floor, represents the epitome of this
exploration philosophy. On December 13, 1972, when Gene and
Jack left the moon, they carried with them 240 pounds of lunar
samples-more than any other mission could boast. Image size:
