Original Note:
The lift-off of the Apollo 17 Lunar Module was filmed using a camera mounted on the lunar rover. Ed Fendall was the person doing the controlling. Harley Weyer figured out what the trajectory would be and where the lunar rover would be each second as it moved out. https://gizmodo.com/how-nasa-captured-this-iconic-footage-of-apollo-17-leav-1671650186 https://www.universetoday.com/117331/how-nasa-filmed-humans-last-leaving-the-moon-42-years-ago/ https://airandspace.si.edu/multimedia-gallery/apollo-17-liftoff-moon-december-14-1972
