| Report on the Results: | A standing-room only crowd came to the Museum to hear Al Worden speak. We sold over 100 of his books. One of the younger attendees asked him what was the most profound experience of his Moon flight. He said, as do most of the men who went the Moon, that it was seeing the Earth in space. |
