Aliens Are Real and NASA Knows It
Former NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr. Edgar Mitchell — a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission — claims aliens exist.
He says extraterrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions — but the alien contact has been repeatedly covered up by governments for six decades.
Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview in Birmingham, England, that sources at NASA who had had contact with aliens described the beings as "little people who look strange to us."
He said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a "small gray" — short, slight frame, large eyes and large head.
Mitchell also claimed human technology is "not nearly as sophisticated" as the aliens' and "had they been hostile," he warned "we would be been gone by now." Former NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr. Edgar Mitchell — a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission — claims aliens exist. ... more -
Cover-up: Apollo 14 astronaut claims aliens have made contact
Aliens have contacted humans several times but governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed. Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell, said he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA but each one was covered up.
Dr Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview that sources at the space agency who had had contact with aliens described the beings as 'little people who look strange to us.' He said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.
Chillingly, he claimed our technology is 'not nearly as sophisticated' as theirs and "had they been hostile", he warned 'we would be been gone by now'.
Dr Mitchell, along with with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, holds the record for the longest ever moon walk, at nine hours and 17 minutes following their 1971 mission.
'I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real,' Dr Mitchell said. 'It's been well covered up by all our governments for the last 60 years or so, but slowly it's leaked out and some of us have been privileged to have been briefed on some of it. I've been in military and intelligence circles, who know that beneath the surface of what has been public knowledge, yes - we have been visited. Reading the papers recently, it's been happening quite a bit.'
Dr Mitchell, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering and a Doctor of Science degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics claimed Roswell was real and similar alien visits continue to be investigated.
He told the astonished Kerrang! radio host Nick Margerrison: "This is really starting to open up. I think we're headed for real disclosure and some serious organisations are moving in that direction.'
Mr Margerrison said: 'I thought I'd stumbled on some sort of astronaut humour but he was absolutely serious that aliens are definitely out there and there's no debating it.'
Officials from NASA, however, were quick to play the comments down. In a statement, a spokesman said: "NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe. Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue.'

'No bias' against UK astronauts
Although the UK has a longstanding opposition to human spaceflight, its policies will not stop its citizens becoming astronauts, the European Space Agency (Esa) says.
"The UK currently refuses to fund human spaceflight, believing robotics to be a more worthwhile space activity."
"Officials made it clear at the start of a recruitment drive in London that Britons were very welcome to apply."
50,000 applicants are expected to apply and will be trimmed down to four astronauts. Those 4 will then begin training for stays at the ISS.
If your interested in applying, Esa says it will only take on new candidates between the ages of 27 and 37. Successful candidates will probably be experienced scientists or test pilots.
"The UK has a huge skill in robotics and the question is: should it continue to keep this divide on robots versus humans, or should we now widen our ambitions?"

A Marathon Mission in Space?
The crew of the shuttle Endeavor arrived back on Earth Wednesday after a sixteen day flight to the international space station.
The greatest thing about this?
"French spaceflyer Leopold Eyharts, of the European Space Agency, also landed aboard Endeavour to complete a nearly 49-day trek to the space station. Eyharts launched to the station in early February to deliver the station's ESA Columbus lab and handed his Expedition 16 crew assignment over to NASA astronaut Garrett Reisman — who arrived aboard Endeavour — before returning to Earth.
'It was a strange feeling coming back to gravity after such a long time,' Eyharts said via telephone, adding that he may need a couple of days to get back to full strength. 'I feel actually well. I think the adaptation is going as was expecting.'
I would love to have the opportunity to do something in which I would need to adapt to Earth's gravity. The crew of the shuttle Endeavor arrived back on Earth Wednesday after a sixteen day flight to the international space station. ... more -

Sick in Space (and a sweet somersault)
A spacewalk is the most coveted assignment for any astronaut. So just imagine spending several months training for the single most important mission of your career, only to get so sick in orbit that you're pulled from the assignment. Ouch. That's exactly what's happening to German astronaut Hans Schlegel aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis. NASA will not say what's ailing the astronaut, but it's enough to delay the delivery of Europe's long overdue science laboratory to the International Space Station by a day. Until then, enjoy this sweet video of the shuttle doing a back flip... and it's shot by a satellite. A spacewalk is the most coveted assignment for any astronaut.
