Episode notes
Al Worden, the astronaut who served as Command Module Pilot on the Apollo 15 lunar mission in 1971, passed away on March 18, 2020 at the age of 88. As a tribute to him, Space 3D will be airing multiple interviews with individuals who knew Al over the years. We hope that these will bring a smile to our listeners. Al was truly unique, and will be missed by his family and the space community.
This is part 1 of a two-part episode featuring space history author Francis French, who collaborated with Al on the writing of his autobiography, Falling to Earth.
