Col. Al Worden (Apollo 15 astronaut) collection

Non-Sports Trading Cards

Al Worden

Astronaut

NASA

One of my favorite PCs and looking to add more. Back in ‘04 I got to play “astronaut for a day” at Kennedy Space Center in FL. Included was an intimate hour-long lunch with Apollo 15 command module pilot, Col. Alfred Worden. Boy howdy he had some things to say about the modern bureaucracy of NASA. The man was royalty there and said exactly how he felt, much to the chagrin of his staff handler. After lunch, he took the time to chat with each of us individually for a few minutes and sign autographs. I’ve never been in the company of a more interesting human. RIP “Al” (as he politely asked us to call him) (1932-2020).

If anyone has any Al Worden cards not pictured, I would probably be interested in buying or trading! I’m also interested in any other interesting astronaut cards, especially Buzz Aldrin and Edgar Mitchell.
