Apollo 15 astronaut Al Worden dies at 88

Apollo-era astronaut Al Worden died in Texas on Wednesday. He was 88.

NASA confirmed Worden’s death with a statement from Jim Bridenstine, the agency’s administrator.

"Al was an American hero whose achievements in space and on Earth will never be forgotten,” Bridenstine said.

Worden was the pilot of the Endeavour command module during the Apollo 15 mission to the moon’s Hadley Rile and Appennine Mountains. He stayed with the module while the other two members of the mission went to the surface

RIP.

They should take his ashes and scatter it on the moon since he didn't get to go down on the moon's surface.
