    This is NOT the official Apollo 17 Flight Journal (yet)

    This site documents my research on the flight of Apollo 17. Once I'm satisfied the material here is documented and reasonably complete, I'll submit it to NASA for review, and, I hope, as my contribution for when they create the real Apollo 17 Flight Journal. The NASA History Division publishes the only official Apollo Flight Journal; I owe a huge debt to Eric Jones and his superb Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, and David Woods and Frank O'Brien for the Apollo Flight Journal. Additional Apollo Journal content, by Jones, Woods, O'Brien, Ken Glover, Joseph O'Dea, Kipp Teague, Lennie Waugh and Robin Wheeler, is reproduced by permission.
