Andrew Michael "Andy" Allen (born 4 August 1955) is a retired United States Astronaut. A former United States Marine Corps aviator and Lt. Colonel, he worked as a test pilot before joining NASA in 1987. He flew three shuttle missions before retiring in 1997.
He graduated from Archbishop Wood Catholic High School in 1973 and was interviewed in 2003 for the school's newspaper, The Viking Voice. He then graduated from Villanova University. The crux of the interview is Mr. Allen's history with NASA and the future of the agency in regard to the then-recent Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. That interview can be found online here at the personal website of the former editor of The Viking Voice, Thomas Shakely.
