Ronald Ellwin "Ron" Evans Jr.
(November 10, 1933 – April 7, 1990), (
Capt
,
USN
), was an American
naval officer
and
aviator
,
electrical engineer
,
aeronautical engineer
,
NASA
astronaut
and, of the 24 astronauts to have flown to the Moon, one of
12 people to have flown to the Moon without landing on it
.
Evans was selected as an astronaut by NASA as part of
Astronaut Group 5
in 1966 and made his only flight into
space
as
Command Module
Pilot aboard
Apollo 17
in December 1972, the last crewed mission to the
Moon
, with Commander
Eugene Cernan
and
Lunar Module
Pilot
Harrison Schmitt
. During the flight, Evans and
five mice
orbited the Moon a record 75 times
[1]
as his two crewmates descended to the surface. He is the last person to orbit the Moon alone and, at 148 hours, holds the record for the most time spent in lunar orbit. In 1975 Evans served as backup Command Module Pilot for the
Apollo–Soyuz Test Project
mission.
During Apollo 17's return flight to Earth, Evans performed an
extravehicular activity
to retrieve film cassettes from the exterior of the spacecraft, the
command and service module
. It was the third "deep space" EVA, and is the spacewalk performed at the greatest distance from any planetary body. As of 2020, it remains one of only three deep space EVAs, all made during the Apollo program's
J-missions
.

It was also the final spacewalk of the Apollo program.

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program. How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item. I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
