Synopsis:

Throughout history man has speculated about life on the moon, but not until now has he been able to travel to the moon and speculate about life on earth! What is it like to travel over a million miles in space, to view the entire earth as a small floating sphere in an immense universe? Alfred M. Worden was the pilot of Endeavour, the command-module for the Apollo 15 mission in 1971. During the nearly 67 hours his fellow astronauts Scott and Irwin were on the moon, he was in complete solitude, floating in space. The overwhelming experience of being alone in the universe gave him a profound feeling of rejuvenation. That experience changed his life. Full of insight, these remarkable poems reveal the feeling man behind the astronaut image. Worden writes of rebirth at 39, of religious experience, the bitterness of public hero-worship, the loss of love, the incomparable joy of voyaging in space, and now the immensity of his solitude and distance from homemade global arguments and politics seem trivial. Indeed, Worden’s experience has changed his entire view of reality on earth, and he shares it beautifully in ‘Hello Earth; Greetings from Endeavour’.
