Abandoned Spaceships on the Moon

RedNova News - Space - Abandoned Spaceships on the Moon: "For the first time since the 1970s, a NASA spacecraft will get clear pictures of Apollo relics on the Moon.

Inside the lunar lander Challenger, a radio loudspeaker crackled. Houston: 'We've got you on television now. We have a good picture.'

Gene Cernan, Apollo 17 commander: 'Glad to see old Rover's still working.' 'Rover,' the moon buggy, sat outside with no one in the driver's seat, its side-mounted TV camera fixed on Challenger. Back in Houston and around the world, millions watched. The date was Dec. 19, 1972, and history was about to be made."
