The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Harrison Hagan Schmitt

- But I don’t think we’ll go there until we go back to the moon and develop a technology base for living and working and transporting ourselves through space.
- As a geologist, I love Earth observations, but it is ridiculous to tie this objective to a ‘consensus’ that humans are causing global warming when human experience, geologic data and history, and current cooling can argue otherwise. ‘Consensus,’ as many have said, merely represents the absence of definitive science. You know as well as I, the ‘global warming scare’ is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making.

He is best known for his role as the Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 17, the last Apollo mission to the Moon in 1972, making him the twelfth and final person to walk on the lunar surface.
During the Apollo 17 mission, Schmitt conducted extensive geological research, bringing back valuable lunar samples that significantly advanced the understanding of the Moon’s composition and history. After his NASA career, Schmitt served as a U.S. senator from New Mexico from 1977 to 1983. He remains an influential advocate for space exploration and has contributed to numerous scientific and policy discussions related to lunar and planetary science.
