Apollo 15, an all U-M space flight, flew to the moon
from July 26-Aug. 7, 1971, with astronauts Col. David
R. Scott, '49-'50, commander; Maj. Alfred Worden,
MS'63, command module pilot; Col. James Irwin, MS'57,
lunar module pilot.>>

<a href=http://vesuvius.jsc.nasa.gov/er/seh/scott-d.htm target=new>http://vesuvius.jsc.nasa.gov/er/seh/scott-d.htm</a>
list only West Point for Scott's bachelors. His only
Michigan degree was an honorary one in 1971. I guess he
started at Ann Arbor before heading to the U.S. Military
Academy. Also, wouldn't this preclude him from being an
alumnus since he technically never graduated from
there?
