Biography

American astronaut who piloted the Gemini 8, along with Neil Armstrong, on 3/16/1966 when they docked with Agena. He also was the pilot of Apollo 9 on 3/03/1969. Scott was appointed Mission Commander of the Apollo 15 mission on 6/26/1971 and explored the Moon in a lunar dune buggy for 66 hours.

Scott continued with NASA until 1977 before quitting to start a consulting firm. In 1992, he was convicted of fraud in Arizona and ordered to pay back $250,000 plus expenses to investors in a company he founded to develop an aircraft-accident-prevention system. He appealed the conviction.

In the '90s, Scott was an aerospace consultant, living in Manhattan Beach, CA with Lurton, his wife of 35 years. They have two adult kids.
