 | Worden EVA.
Worden holds two world's records that are still standing as of 2020
His lunar orbit at one point had him 2,235 away from the rest of the Apollo crew on the moon. The Guinness Book Of World records" declared him to be the "most isolated human being".
On the return trip he performed an extravehicular activity (EVA), or spacewalk, to retrieve film cassettes from cameras on the exterior of the spacecraft. It was considered the first "deep space" EVA in history, it took place 196,000 miles from Earth. By comparison the astronauts working outside the international space station are at a maximum of 255 miles away.
This frame from a 16MM film represents the best picture made of him during that portion of the mission. |

 | X-15
The X-15 (the "X" stood for experimental) was a rocket powered plane that looked more like a missile than an airplane. Three X-15s were built. they were used for 199 test flights from June 8, 1959 to October 24, 1968. #3 was destroyed, November 15, 1967 when it began to spin and broke apart before landing killing astronaut Michael J. Adams. |

 | X-15 Crash.
On November 9, 1962 John attempted to power up his X-15 but the engine failed to produce more than 30% thrust. It was decided to make an emergency landing. They kept the engine running for 70.5 seconds before releasing him in an attempt to burn off the fuel and reduce the weight. The landing speed was far higher than it should have been. Unresponsive controls coupled with the extra weight led to the plane rolling when it landed. The cockpit canopy sheared away and John's helmeted head dug into the lake bed.
John wold eventually recover and made 22 more flights in the X-15. The wrecked plane was repaired and returned to service. John turned to alcohol to deal with pain resulting from the accident and died as a result of liver disease. His autopsy revealed substantial brain damage. |

 | X-15 Landing.
The X-15 expends all of it's fuel during flight. It has to glide to a landing. The Guinness book of world records' lists the X15 as holding the record for fastest landing speed at 242 mph. As of 2019 this is a record that has not been broken even by the space shuttle. The nose gear has wheels but, the rear only has skids. The landing took place on a dry lake bed. |
