Farewell Ed Mitchell.

[Flibster]

Apollo 14 astronaut and 6th man to walk on the moon died on Thursday.

He was a bit of an odd duck with remote healing, ESP amongst other things. But was still one of only 12 people to set foot on another planet. Spent over 9 hours outside on the moons surface. he set the record.

RIP

FYI, you need to be careful with these RIP threads. There are a few militant anti RIP threadites about.

P.S. the moon is not a planet.

The moon is a planetlet though

RIP Ed Mitchell. And thank-you for saying this:

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch'.

*applause*
