Al Worden's personally-owned signed book: Failure Is Not An Option. First edition. NY: Simon & Schuster, 2000. Hardcover with dust jacket, 6.5 x 9.5, 415 pages. Signed and inscribed on the title page in black ballpoint, "To Al, Aim High! Eug. F. Kranz, 4/15/00." Kranz discusses a brief problem-solving exchange with Worden on page 358: "While taking a breather before extracting the LM, Al Worden looked around the cockpit, casually noting, 'The main engine thrust light on the entry monitoring system is on. I'm not sure when it came on.' Instantly, GNC Gary Coen snapped, 'Flight, Panel 8, have the crew pull both pilot valve circuit breakers.' Worden replied, 'Okay, they're pulled.' Gary continued, 'Flight, the engine is now safe.'" In fine condition.
From the collection of Apollo 15 CMP Al Worden, and accompanied by a letter of provenance from his daughter Alison (Worden) Penczak.
