Stainless steel commemorative plaques measuring 9 by were attached to the ladders on the descent stages of the United States Apollo Lunar Modules flown on lunar landing missions Apollo 11 through Apollo 17, to be left permanently on the lunar surface.
 The plaques were originally suggested and designed by NASA's head of technical services Jack Kinzler, who oversaw their production.
 All of the plaques bear facsimiles of the participating astronauts' signatures.
 For this reason, an extra plaque had to be made for Apollo 13 due to the late replacement of one crewmember.
 The first (Apollo 11) and last (Apollo 17) plaques bear a facsimile of the signature of Richard Nixon, President of the United States during the landings, along with references to the start and "completion" of "man's" "first" explorations of the Moon and expressions of peace for "all mankind".
 All, except the Apollo 12 plaque (which is also textured differently), bear pictures of the two hemispheres of Earth.
 Apollo 17's plaque bears a depiction of the lunar globe in addition to the Earth.
 The plaques used on missions 13 through 16 bear the call-sign of each mission's Lunar Module.
 All the plaques were left on the Moon, except the two for the aborted Apollo 13 which did not land on the Moon.
Apollo 13 is a 1995 American space adventure docudrama film directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, and Ed Harris.
 The screenplay by William Broyles, Jr. and Al Reinert, that dramatizes the aborted 1970 Apollo 13 lunar mission, is an adaptation of the book "Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13" by astronaut Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger.
 The film depicts astronauts Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise aboard Apollo 13 for America's third Moon landing mission.
 En route, an on-board explosion deprives their spacecraft of most of its oxygen supply and electric power, forcing NASA's flight controllers to abort the Moon landing, and turning the mission into a struggle to get the three men home safely.
