1971 photo of Farouk El-Baaz (right), an Egyptian-American scientist, worked on NASA’s Apollo program from 1967–72, training astronauts in photography and lunar observations and advising on the selection of landing sites for each of the Apollo missions. Endeavour, the space¬craft used in the Apollo 15 mission in 1971, was a revised model that some feared would fail. For its protection and good fortune, El-Baaz printed the first chapter of the Qu’ran and the names of his daughters on a sheet of paper that was placed in the spacecraft and sent with the astronauts into space.
