Summary:
Two speakers discuss what the scientific community knew about the moon before the Apollo Program and what was learned from the missions from two different perspectives. One is from Jack Schmitt who worked on mapping the moon and planetary science before he became an astronaut who walked on the moon during the Apollo 17 mission. The other perspective comes from Hal Masursky who worked with the U.S. Geological survey and was involved in the selection of the landing sights on the moon.
