Another of the Apollo astronauts has left us. RIP Al Worden.

Can someone move this thread to "Spaceflight News" subforum?

Got to hang with him on several occasions, terrific guy and a warm personality! He was also one of the few astronauts who raced (I think he mainly did Formula Vee). Last I saw him in July he said something like "yep, all my friends are dead". I'd like to think he's up there reunited with his buddies, having a beer on the Moon. Godspeed, Al.

He sure had the best sense of humor of any astronaut I've known.
And incredible insight and open-mindedness regarding humanity's place in the universe, informed and inspired by his unique experience.
I hoped to see him again this year and I'm grateful for seeing him twice in the past few years.

RIP
