The Apollo 17 mission was targeted to land at the southeastern edge of the Serenitatis Basin, one of a number of large impact basins on the Moon. The geologic setting of the Apollo 17 site is reviewed, the implications for the formation of basins from Apollo 17 results are assessed, and unanswered questions potentially addressable with existing and new data are outlined.
