Worden Makes Historic Deep Space Walk From Apollo 15
Astronaut Alfred Worden performed the first deep space walk 200000 miles from Earth, stepping into vacuum for 18 minutes to retrieve film canisters and inspect equipment. Worden rode a 25 foot lifeline with James Irwin guiding the hose as David Scott monitored from Endeavour orbit. The EVA produced clear TV images and yielded data from the camera bay before the crew headed home toward a Pacific splashdown.
