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.

Oh, c'mon, everyone knows we have been visited by aliens!!

Alan LaVern Bean (born March 15, 1932), (Capt, USN, Ret.), is an American former naval officer and aviator, aeronautical engineer, test pilot, and NASA astronaut; he was the fourth person to walk on the Moon. He was selected to become an astronaut by NASA in 1963 as part of Astronaut Group 3.

Indeed. Seems like the kind of guy who would be fun to talk with over a cup of coffee. ;)

Bet he has some stories to tell!

Maybe where they got the idea for the Aliens movie controls?

Indian flying machines. And then there are all those weird ‘things’ in the skies, in old European paintings...

[amorphous]

Wow, and thanks for explaining it! Good catch GradyLS!

[amorphous]

I'm a believer. There had to be something flying around in those ancient skies.

We were deemed mentally ill and dangerous by the Galactic Council.

They will re-evaluate us in about 60,000 years.
