    Bummer.

    I always considered Apollo 15 my mission because I was there for the launch. People forget that he did a space walk on the return trip to retrieve the film canisters from the service module.

    How cool that must have been.

    The Apollo astronauts are leaving us more and more. Their foot prints will be there for a long time though!

    So very sorry to hear the news of Col. Worden’s passing. I had the good fortune to meet Al on several occasions and he was a wonderful guy. In addition to all of his life and aviation achievements, he also was involved with the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, a cause he championed for years. Many students benefited from his efforts to promote the Foundation’s work.

    God Speed Col. Worden.

    Col. Worden was born just down the highway from where I am sitting now. Ad Astra, and Go Blue, Sir!
