ASTRONAUT FACTS (continued): • News commentator Walter Cronkite was generally never at a loss for words. The one time in his career when he could think up not a single comment was during the first moon landing when he was overwhelmed. “I just went blank,” Cronkite explained. • Astronaut Alfred Worden of the Apollo 15 mission stayed on board the command module while David Scott and James Irwin explored the surface of the moon in 1971. As he orbited the moon, he was 2,234 miles away from his fellow astronauts, and nearly a quarter million miles away from Earth. This guaranteed him a spot in the Book of World Records for being the most isolated human being in history. • Each Apollo space suit was made of over 1,000 individual parts and cost around $100,000 in 1968 dollars. The space suits worn by astronauts on the moon landings weighed 180 lbs. on earth, but only 30 lbs. on the moon, which has one-sixth the gravity. Because the moon suits were bulky, astronauts found it easier to hop than to walk. • Moon-walker James Irwin of Apollo 15 left his moon jacket on the moon in order to lighten the load on the return trip home. However, he cut out and kept the fabric NASA nametag before abandoning the suit. The six-inch by twelveinch nametag, dirty and embedded with moon dust from Irwin’s three moon walks, later sold at auction for $310,500. • The maiden name of Buzz Aldrin’s mom was Moon. IT'S A FACT • A bookie in London named David Thelfall bet $24 in 1964 that a man would walk on the moon by 1971. The odds were 1,000 to 1. When the lunar module landed, he was awarded a check for $24,000 on national TV.
