Apollo 12 landed on the Moon in order to recover pieces of Surveyor III. Apollo 14 is known as the smoothest lunar landing to that point. Apollo 15 humans drove a car for the first time on the Moon. Apollo 16 also drove a car on the Moon, but this time they drove more than 16 miles. And finally, Apollo 17 had three moonwalks that lasted 7 hours each, and the crew stayed on the Moon for 3 days. Commander Gene Cernan and Lunar Module Pilot Harrision Schmitt collected 243 pounds of material.
