Astronaut is a Moonbeam

Seems Apollo 14 "Spam in a can" Edgar Mitchell thinks there are space aliens, they've visited us, and that the Fed.Gov is covering it up. Feel free to insert your own snark here.

Via Slashdot, which offers some top shelf snark on the subject of a massive gov't conspiracy. If the conspiracy is so effective, then why oh why don't they shut Dr Mitchell up? Easy:

Well oblivious they KNEW he would look like a crackpot so we would obviously not believe him. On the other hand they KNEW that we would think that we know they think he wants to look like a crackpot so we would obviously not believe NASA. However, we know that he has been on the moon, so he might have gone mad, so obviously we can not believe him. However knowing he has been on the moon means he was privy to a lot of highly classified information so we obviously can not believe NASA. However only a great fool believe in what has no proof so we can obviously not believe him. On the other hand NASA knows the slashdoters of the world are not great fools, and they were counting us not foolishly believing him, so we can obviously not believe them. INCONCEIVABLE!
