Flown checklist page, 8 x 5.5, from the Apollo 17 LM 'Lunar-Surface Checklist' used on the lunar surface, signed in black ink by CDR Gene Cernan and bearing his flight certification stamp: “Landed on the Moon, aboard the Apollo 17 LM ‘Challenger.’” Representing the last page of the checklist, this particular leaf is numbered 8-17 and is dated September 12, 1972. The page features checks and procedures relative to the lunar module’s lunar departure, and is annotated in black felt tip, “This is the end, not the beginning,” a sentence in keeping with the Apollo 17 mission’s place in history. In fine condition. Accompanied by a color glossy 8.5 x 11 photo of Cernan holding the complete checklist from which this page originated and attesting that the page “also bears lunar dust from the ‘Taurus-Littrow Valley’ of the Moon.”
