from the Apollo 17 Lunar Surface Checklist (SKB32100123-363 S/N 1001)
and originates from the personal collection of the last man on the
Moon, Eugene Cernan. The Lunar Surface Checklist was one of the most
important and most utilized documents from the astronauts stay while on
the Moon's surface.

sleep on 12-13-72 (both pre-sleep and post-sleep procedures) between
EVA's 2 and 3. Page 5-7 details activities related to re-charging the
PLSS backpacks for the very last moonwalk, as well as stowing unneeded
