I believe Joe Engle was to have been the original LMP on Apollo 17. Since 17 was to be the last lunar landing, NASA decided to send a geologist (Schmitt).Paul |

Schmitt was supposed to fly on 18 with Dick Gordon as the CDR and Brand (I believe, do I have that right?) as the CMP. When 18 was cancelled Schmitt was moved up and Engle was bumped from the crew.
