Baltimore Sun editorial praised NASA decision to include scientist- astronaut Dr. Harrison H. Schmitt in Apollo 17 crew: "Exploration of the moon can be scientifically justified as a great and extremely costly project only by the faith that it will produce evidence on which the world's whole scientific community can agree regarding the origins and age of the moon, the earth, perhaps the entire solar system." Even though Apollo program was to end with Dr. Schmitt's flight, "it may very well take a new turning by reason of his presence." (B Sun, 8/15/71)
