How cool will it be to meet the only Astronaut who publicly admits that UFOs have landed on Earth!

Smart isn't the word, he's frighteningly intelligent! The book he was reading during breaks the last time he attended I couldn't even understand the title lol!

Met him at my first Autographica in 2001 and he was great to meet.

I'm also hoping for a photoshoot and lecture.
I once met Alec Guinness (stage door, Comedy Theatre London, with no one else waiting!) and he wasn't grumpy at all - really nice to meet.

Met Dr Mitchell last week, he comes over as a very pleasent gentlemen...
I asked him about his Omega Speedmaster - one source I read said the crystal of his watch popped out as he climbed down the LM ladder - I asked him about this and he said it was news to him! and that nothing of the kind happened to his watch and that it was ok. I would add he is a little bit deaf and so if you have a strong accent try and speak clearly, am from Yorkshire and I don't think he had a clue when my crowd and I spoke :D
I think you'll like to meet him and some how you will enjoy his talk...

He came over very well on "In the Shadow of the Moon", I know it's not easy to tell from a TV interview but he sounded very humble about his achievments and seemed to appreciate the 'magic' of the thing.

Very much looking forward to meeting him at the show.

Nope, he has cancelled his last couple of planned apperances so it'll be a first time meeting for me

Did anyone at Pontefract ask him about Roswell? Following his astonishing 'Karang' broadcast, you'd have to imagine he might be prepared to talk about the UFO thing at A16....

No, none of the 'oofo' balloony was mentioned...

He broke up his lecture in to mainly two large chunks, his life before A14 and Apollo 14. He did mention that he lived in Roswell but did not mention any Ally-anns or OOfo's, in fact he gave a - how can I say this - a funny little smile when he mentioned Roswell.

The interesting stuff was his degree's and college course's and his Navy career. He also talked warmly about Alan Shepard and Stu Roosa.

Been a urban spaceman I would say I was nickpicy when he shewed Apollo 9's LM and Saturn F-500 and he claimed they were Apollo 14, but hey, we are all allowed a error or two!

I like the man, in fact he's gone up in my ratings

Hello everyone
Just to let you all know, i spoke with Ed a few days ago. He is very much onboard and will do a lecture and photoshoot. Be warned though this years lecture area is much smaller than Birmingham and we will only be able to offer limited seating. So as soon as you see these lectures advertised grab em. All lectures will now be available on the website direct from us.

All good news and well worth knowing about the lectutre arrangements. Probably no bad thing to be able to book in advance, one less thing to do at the show!

Would be nice to see a reply from the organisers regarding Astronauts & Cosmonauts, and a few more new space guests would be great!
What chance a reply?
See you there
Steve

Hi all,

Looking forward to my first Autographica event and meeting Edgar Mitchell, Gen Tom Stafford and Al Worden for the first time.

I’ve been on a bit of a quest for the last couple of years to meet in person as many of the remaining Apollo crew that I can. After a lot of travelling around I’ve managed to meet the following in person:

Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean, Michael Collins, Gene Cernan and Jim Lovell.

Also in the next few months I’ll be meeting Charlie Duke, Scott Carpenter, Walt Cunningham, Fred Haise and Dave Scott.


I’ll also be in Florida to see the last two remaining Shuttle launches.
Discovery STS-133 (Nov 2010) and Endeavour STS-134 (Feb 2011).

Would be great to meet up with any like minded Apollo/NASA followers on the day.

Bye for now.

Jamie (UK)
