The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Commander Gene Cernan and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt walked on the Moon, while Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans orbited above.
- Schmitt was the only professional geologist to land on the Moon, he was selected in place of Joe Engle, as NASA had been under pressure to send a scientist to the Moon.
- The mission's heavy emphasis on science meant the inclusion of a number of new experiments, including a biological experiment containing five mice that stayed in orbit with Evans.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Apollo 17 article was read about 660,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 88 and blocks with 97: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
