Rudolf and Rudolph
- This name (Rima Rudolf) should not be confused with RUDOLPH, which is a tiny craterlet very near the landing site of Apollo 17's LM Challenger. Rudolph (Apollo 17 crater) - "Named for the Christmas season's famous recent addition and most inspiring hero." Like craterlets Frosty, Punk, and Poppie, Rudolph is near the actual landing site. Rudolph was named for the storybook character, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The story was written in 1939 by Robert L. May at the request of his employer, Montgomery Ward &Co., which distributed 2.4 million copies to children that Christmas. In 1949, Johnny Marks wrote a song of the same name which was recorded by cowboy-singer Gene Autry and sold 8 million copies. It was, by far, the biggest hit of Autry's long career (source:APOLLO LUNAR SURFACE JOURNAL, Eric M. Jones).
