And how far did the guys in the rovers go?
Average traverse was around 10 km.
I believe that was the maximum walk-back distance.
Here are the actual numbers from
http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/apollo_lrv.html :
Max distance Longest Total length
from LM traverse of traverse
A15 5 km 12.5 km 27.8 km
A16 4.5 km 11.6 km 26.7 km
A17 7.6 km 20.1 km 35.9 km
Hmm, I'm not entirely sure that Jorge meant a 10km per mission (which
obviously was wrong :-) or per actual EVA, which would be about right.
Such a shame we ended with Apollo 17, in terms of science we were starting
to really hit our stride.
