Great film about the #Apollo15 Moon landing, detailing the science done on the Moon.
It’s well made & informative, with footage I had never seen before. 🤩
I wish there was more footage of @WordenAlfred, but that’s cos I miss him so much. 😁 ❤️

Pleased to see that India's Chandrayaan 2 spacecraft has returned these images of the #Apollo11 & 12 landing sites. Now lunar orbiting spacecraft of two nations have captured the LM descent stages resting peacefully decades after they sent humans to another world.
Website Update! 🤩

Not only did the Class of 2023 get a week-long astronaut training at Space Camp, but they were able to meet Apollo 16 Astronaut and Moonwalker, Charlie Duke. Charlie has served as an Endeavour Scholarship Ambassador after Al Worden's late passing in 2020.

#OTD 5th Aug 1971, 200,000 miles above Earth @WordenAlfred retrieved the mapping camera film from the sim bay outside the spacecraft. These were later used to plot maps of the moon. 48 yrs later he commissioned ltd editions & signed the porcelain map I made of Hadley Rille

A favorite photo by @WordenAlfred @AlWordenESF
This is not #scifi - it's a photograph taken by one of us, on this day in 1971.
Apollo 15.
Have a nice weekend.

While Dave Scott & Jim Irwin explored the Moon's surface during #Apollo15, Al Worden conducted experiments in lunar orbit. Worden mapped the Moon's composition, measured the heights of surface features & took stunning lunar photographs.
