           Nothing recorded this day except my bank balance. Here is a photo, one of the last taken by on the lunar surface. This was back in 1972, on the last moon mission, Apollo 17. Then came the dreaded waste of the shuttle program. Thirty years and 135 launches for nothing. They finally chucked the whole program, but replaced it with the equally lame International Space Station. Low Earth Orbit is not where it is at. This photo shows the lunar mountains on the horizon. The lander left the moon a few days later and nobody has been there since.
