Website: http://www.spacecraftfilms.com/apollo17endofthebeginning.aspx

Description:

DISC 6

On the way back from the moon, Apollo 17 transmitted broadcasts during the lunar orbit rendezvous and docking operations, views of the moon just after the transEarth injection burn, coverage of Ron Evan's SIM bay EVA, and held an in-flight press conference.

The longest of the Apollo missions (not including the Skylab program), the 13 days of Apollo 17 ended with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean about 3 1/2 miles from the recovery ship, the U.S.S. Ticonderoga.

The sixth and last Apollo lunar-landing mission also established many firsts - the longest lunar surface stay time of 75 hours, longest total surface EVA time with just over 22 hours, and the most samples returned to Earth, with about 250 pounds (115 kg) returned. The mission of Apollo 17 was qualified as an outstanding success.

Two multi-angle segments are presented on disc 6 - during the lunar orbit approach and during the transEarth EVA. These segments contain multiple angles of the same event, and can be accessed on-the-fly using the angle button on your remote control.

Enjoy!
