Operation AXIOM: Destination Moon—The 50th Anniversary of Apollo 17, Part III
14-19 December 1972: The Challenger lifted off & docked with the America, which remained in orbit for the next two days; Evans conducted the third deep-space E.V.A. to retrieve film from the S.I.M. bay; of the five mice aboard the America as a cosmic ray experiment—Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum, & Phooey—four survived; the America splashed down in the Pacific & was recovered by the U.S.S. Ticonderoga.

Commentary: The video camera on the Lunar Roving Vehicle, remotely directed by Mission Control in Houston, captured the Challenger's ascent from the lunar surface, after unsuccessful attempts to film the ascents of Apollo 15's Falcon & Apollo 16's Orion. The third try was the charm: YouTube-link.
