HE was an astronaut on the second manned mission to the moon and the fourth man to walk on its surface.
Alan Bean, 85, is one of only 12 people to have taken “one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind” on the moon.

"I'm lying to the media. They've been here. They've been to my house."
ty, i thought it was interesting and a change of pace that some might also enjoy.
I once walked through his old house that his ex-wife was selling. She had some interesting memorabilia hanging on the walls from his trip to the moon.
She does resemble the Reptilian type...
He's sure beats GW Bush when it comes to painting.
Does he walk on his finished paintings with moon-boots or something? They seem to have tread marks all over them. The one on the right especially!
I thought he was going to say: “Because they told me!”
Darn.
Don’t know, but see what you mean. Maybe a FR artist knows?
:)
It’s nice, and his paintings are great.
My favorite of the original astronauts was Gordon Cooper - who, by the way, had his own interesting opinions about UFOs.
Beer!
Let me guess, because they went to the crapitol and found there is no intelligent life here?
Longer ago than that.
At least twice as long.
That’s interesting. I didn’t know ol’ Gordo had an opinion on aliens as well. But then I suppose they all did, to some extent anyway. I know Jim Irwin had all kinds of interests.
Best guess yet!
Yeah, that would put it around the time we came out of the last ice age. I wouldn’t disagree.
He didn’t speak of aliens, but of craft; apparently he saw and photographed one himself that he couldn’t explain, and knew other pilots who saw them. He thought the govt. was hiding something.
(I think the govt. was just as puzzled as anyone.)
I’m sure they figure that as long as we are still squabbling among ourselves, we’re no great threat to anything beyond the moon.
Whatever, else, I marvel at our tremendous fortune to live in the greatest country on earth, during the days when we sent mankind to the moon (and may yet again—or even to Mars), and watching it all as it happens.
