Jack Schmitt throws the hammer with a discus motion. It is visible against the sky for a long time. Gene Cernan's pictures of the hammer throw are, AS17-143- 21938, 21939, 21940, and 21941. The last of these shows Jack as he apparently watches the shower of dust settle at the impact point. Courtesy of NASA.
170:29:49 Schmitt: Let me throw the hammer? Please.
170:29:50 Cernan: It's all yours.
170:29:51 Schmitt: You got the gravimeter
170:29:52 Cernan: You deserve it. A hammer thrower...You're a geologist. You ought to be able to throw it.
170:29:56 Schmitt: You ready?
170:29:57 Cernan: Go ahead.
170:29:58 Schmitt: You ready for this? Ready for this?
170:30:00 Cernan: Yeah. Don't hit the LM. Or the ALSEP.
170:30:07 Cernan: Look at that! Look at that! Look at that!
170:30:12 Schmitt: Beautiful.
170:30:14 Cernan: Looked like it was going a million miles, but it really didn't.
170:30:17 Schmitt: Didn't it?
