Apollo 17 EVA 2, Station 5, Camelot Crater  (FTV-0000526)
This text will be replaced

Description
Camera moves around looking at the boulder field on the rim of Camelot Crater as Jack Schmitt skips between the blocks examining the details of the rocks and describing what he is seeing to Capcom Bob Parker. Gene also updates Bob on his progress off camera looking for sample bags. Jack seems to have run out of sample bags. He tells Bob that these blocks are buried up here - although he admits a few blocks are lying on the surface. The camera pans right off Jack to the other blocks nearer to the rim of the crater. Jack continues his commentary on what he can see and his plans to sample it.
