And yet, they managed to fuck it up somewhat every single time. LRV-1 had steering problems, and for a few tense minutes, the people who'd built it worried that the damn thing wouldn't drive at all. But it worked out.

On 16 and 17, a clumsy commander (in both cases) knocked off a bit of the fender. They fixed it with spare maps and duct tape. One major defect in the vehicle: no cup holders.

How (if at all) will Moon landing denialists adjust their frame when the private German mission returns new imagery of the Apollo 17 site next year?

But it was EVA-2 that went furthest out, the furthest humans have ever traveled away from a spacecraft during an EVA of any type.

Because it sounds closer to "Shut up, Meg." Apollo 17, EVA 3, humanity's last trip out on another (planetary-ish) body. We're looking south-west-ish, and the mountain in the distance is South Massif. Cernan and Schmitt had traveled /even further/ from the LM the day previous, on EVA 2-the furthest that humans have ever traveled away from their spacecraft in the vacuum of space. Pic related is a help.

I stole the idea for the image from an already-produced short clip with extra-creepy music which actually hits home when you watch it:
