Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, 6th man on moon, dies in Florida

Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who
became the sixth man on the moon when he and Alan
Shepard helped NASA recover from Apollo 13's
"successful failure" and later devoted his life to
exploring physics, the mind, and unexplained
phenomena such as psychics and aliens, has died in
Florida. He was 85.
Mitchell died Thursday night at a West Palm Beach
hospice after a short illness, his daughter, Kimberly
Mitchell, said. Mitchell's passing coincides with the
45th anniversary of the Apollo 14 mission from Jan. 31-
Feb. 9, 1971.
