A Belated Salute to the Moon Men

Just wanted to say thanks to the astronauts of the first moon landing – it was spectacular – and nuts to all the hoax believers out there (kind of hard to keep a conspiracy secret for 40 years, don’t ya think?).

I’ve enjoyed reading the “where are they now” items about all the folks who trod the lunar surface – for example, Alan Bean became a painter (nice); Harrison Schmitt became a U.S. Senator from New Mexico (one term); and Neil Armstrong is as gabby as ever (okay that’s a joke – he is famously publicity-shy – and I think that’s just swell).

Then there’s Edgar Mitchell – who made a moon landing in 1971 – and who has since championed the cause of aliens. Aliens from outer space.

Mitchell has been quoted as saying the following:

“I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real. It has been covered up by governments for quite some time now.” -Edgar Mitchell, July 2008

Where did Mr. Mitchell grow up? Why – Roswell, New Mexico. If you ever find yourself there, be sure to try the UFO burger – it’s alieny delicious!

It is kinda strange that Mitchell grew up in Roswell and came forward about aliens. Makes you think is he crazy or is their really a massive conspiracy.

Reminds me of something a friend used to say, all the time: “Coincidence…or conspiracy? YOU be the judge!”
I’ll be the judge: I say coincidence.
Anyone else?
