Late last week TIME Correspondent Christopher Byron flew over the island and described this scene: "At a distance of 50 miles, the inky horizon shimmered with an eerie red glow. At a distance of five miles, fly ash and stones peppered the plane's cockpit, making the sort of sound one hears when driving through a swarm of locusts. As we came still closer, fountains of flaming rock hurled up past us in the night, reaching heights twice that of the Empire State Building.

As the Apollo 17 Saturn rocket began to lift ponderously from Cape Kennedy's launch pad 39A, the entire sky was filled with an orange-pink glow, a false dawn against which gulls and pelicans wheeled and fluttered in aimless confusion. The awesome spectacle marked a fitting beginning to the mission of Apollo 17, which at week's end was approaching the moon, carrying Astronauts Gene Cernan, Jack Schmitt and Ron Evans on what may well...
