Astronaut: Alien’s Haven’t Visited Earth 57






          NASA Astronaut Explains

             Why He Knows Aliens

              Haven't Visited Earth



           If ETs found us, they would offer to
          help solve cancer and birth defects, he
                              says.





          Only 12 individuals from Earth have been
          fortunate enough to actually walk on the surface
          of another world ― specifically, our moon.
                 The historic manned lunar landing in
          July 1969 gave us  Apollo 11’s first
          moonwalkers, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin,
          followed four months later by Apollo 12’s Pete
          Conrad and Alan Bean leaving their footsteps on
          Earth’s natural satellite.
                 Lunar module pilot Bean, now 85,
          became the fourth man to set foot on the moon,
          and he continued with the space program as a
          spacecraft commander on the 59-day Skylab
          Mission II, in 1973. He was later named backup
          commander for the 1975 joint  American-
          Russian Apollo-Soyuz test flight.
                 When Bean retired from NASA in 1981,
          he became an excellent artist who paints the
          experiences of fellow astronaut-moonwalkers.
                 Bean’s spacefaring experiences have
          given him plenty of time to think about the    which forbids Starfleet explorers from
          question of whether earthlings are alone in the  interfering with any ET cultures.
