Talk:Edgar Mitchell

message: I noticed that a poorly written bit of info from an IP user was removed. What Edgar says here probably should be mentioned in the article. But I doubt an IP could get the wording right. In fact, I myself am not even going to attempt to word it. So I'd suggest an experienced editor has a shot at it! Good luck... All Grown Up Whovian 19:58, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Done, but it seems most of the info was already in the article! All Grown Up Whovian 20:35, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: All fixed. I reworded it to make it more encyclopaedic, moved it to replace the earlier mention and also replaced the source with a more reliable one. Wayne (talk) 07:34, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

message: In an interview in February 2011 Edgar Mitchell told "The Unexplained Podcast"  he thinks thinks are different species - some who have our best interests at heart and some who may not and he believes there are people - some in and around the space programme and bound by confidentiality agreements - who will one day bring forward more evidence.  Dr Mitchell also discussed his ongoing concerns over the "sustainability" of earth's resources.

thread_title:  Edit request from Theunexplained, 14 February 2011 

message: I found a reference to a paper regarding said experiments having been published in the Journal of Parapsychology in 1971, including the abstract of it being cited in full in a skeptic's dictionary article (http://www.skepdic.com/refuge/entangledreview.html) and decided to add it to the article. I figure that people might be interested in reading some skeptical criticism of said experiment.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aikiboy1111111 (talk • contribs) 11:13, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

message: The astronaut grew up right next to the famous UFO site of Roswell, New Mexico. 40 miles according to Google Maps. He was 17 years old at tht time. So I think, his testimony is valid. 93.219.157.242 (talk) 05:30, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Artesia New Mexico is right next to Roswell! 

message: I figure there is a good reason there is no information on Mr Mitchell from 1972 to 2009ish. I won't speculate here. But, it makes one wonder, what ever happened to the level-headed scientist and pilot that NASA hired? Remember guys, a Wikipedia article is not a fan page. If someone could look into what happened to Mr Mitchell post NASA and fill in the gaps with unbiased info, the rest of us won't have to. Right?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.191.148.9 (talk) 19:45, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The following "superlatives" you just added are taken out of context:
 This would perhaps be the longest on foot; the Apollo 17 mission undisputedly traversed the greatest distance (35.74 km) using the Lunar Roving Vehicle.
 First successful transmission; Apollo 12 transmitted color for a few minutes until Bean pointed the camera at the Sun. (This can be verified from the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, but the Apollo 12 article has a citation error; it points to the Apollo 11 ALSJ.
 Calling this a superlative gives undue weight to Mitchell, as the other 11 men also accomplished it. It can be more neutrally mentioned in the lead that Mitchel was sixth out of 12 so far.
The following are just plain wrong:
 Maybe it was the longest at the time, but the longest stay was on Apollo 17, 75 hours
 42.8 kg; again, a record at the time, but Apollo 17 returned 110.4 kg. Again, calling them superlatives like this gives undue weight to Mitchell. 
Also, some of these were already there. JustinTime55 (talk) 16:10, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
