The Apollo 17 mission, which took place in December 1972, marked a significant moment in lunar exploration, with astronauts Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spending 75 hours on the Moon's surface.
As we look toward establishing a permanent presence on the Moon, it is crucial to understand the importance of biological systems in supporting human life over extended periods.
Investment in biological research is essential to address the challenges of sustaining human life on the Moon, ensuring that future missions can thrive in this harsh environment.
