Apollo 17: Historical illuminations of the Saturn V at the Kennedy Space Center
NASA. A total of 72 Xenon projectors of 20 kilowatts each and two 60-kilowatt projectors illuminate the Saturn V rocket on its launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center on November 21, 1972. It would be the last Saturn V rocket to have a "Moon Objective", as it would carry the crew of the APOLLO 17 mission, still the last to walk on the Moon. The flight took off on December 6 in a spectacular deluge of fire and flames, with astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, Commander, Ronald E. Evans, Lunar Module Pilot and Harrisson H. Schmitt, Lunar Module Pilot.
