We are not alone says Apollo 14 astronaut

Check out the careful reporting of opposing viewpoints:

Some are understandably skeptical about this theory that diplomatic aliens have traveled the cosmos to disarm U.S. military weapons.

So, is this guy going to enter the Republican primary?

He is in talks to become Trump’s science adviser.

I thought the aliens had already reached the limits of what rectal probing can teach them.

Now they’re doing it just for fun.

You know he’s a liar because the moon walks were a hoax.

What do you have against Michael Jackson, he’s dead, let him rest in peace.
Oh, …um, …never mind. :o

I’d be inclined to assume people who qualify to be astronauts are sane, rational people.

Fundamental requirements mismatch.

Or the next generation is just learning the ropes.

Well duh! There are 1,100 freaking people in this building. Don’t need a rocket scientist to figure THAT out.

I used to like that TV show, too, until David Duchovny left.

There may be aliens out there, but I can’t see why Edgar Mitchell’s opinion should carry more weight than anyone else’s.

Except one of them drove across the country wearing a diaper hoping to kill a sexual competitor with a wrench.

So I looked that up, and actually I felt rather sorry for her.
Still, I found this essay on space diapers from Yale:
*If you think waterproof undies are only for old folks, babies and space travel, prepare for a change. Advanced technology from space missions has a way of filtering down to society at large. Like powdered ice cream or the waterproof space pen, adult diaper use may soon go mainstream.
*
Consider the benefits. Wearing a diaper by choice lends immediate urgency to any endeavor, signaling those around you that you are most certainly in a hurry. Organize your CD collection in traditional underwear and you risk being disturbed or called away; but organize those same CDs wearing a diaper and you’re sure to be left in peace. Tired of co-workers interrupting you as you type that report? Try a diaper, and savor the silence. The willingness to eschew bathroom breaks is a powerful statement, adding a certain gravitas to your day. Plus, in winter, your pants are self-heating.

I note that he has no evidence himself, just that:

• he got involved because people with UFO encounters “figured I was reliable enough to carry their stories and not compromise them.”

From the article I note that:

Roger Leir, author, lecturer and “alien-implant researcher,” told the group that “multimillions” have been abducted worldwide, and some have been implanted with strange, tiny devices used to monitor or control.

Sadly he didn’t bring an alien implant with him. Apparently the devices have all been abducted by strange, tiny aliens…

Tangentially related hijack: the belief that some sort of tracking or monitoring device has been implanted in you is a common symptom of paranoid schizophrenia.

Not that all UFO believers are mentally ill, mind you; some are just stupid.

If the ancient aliens where here, where is their garbage? “Garbage of the Gods”?

According to a misguided poster in Great Debates, whose name I don’t want to remember, a lot of that garbage was dumped in ancient Egypt. It just so happens that one civilization’s trash is the treasure of another. :rolleyes:
