On January 31, 1971, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, then a U.S. Navy Captain, embarked on a journey through outer space of some 5,000,000 miles that resulted in him becoming the sixth man to walk on the moon. That historic journey, made in the company of Admiral Alan Shepard and Colonel Stuart Roosa, terminated safely nine days later on February 9.

Scientist, test pilot, naval officer, astronaut, entrepreneur, author and lecturer, Dr. Mitchell is the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the USN Distinguished Service Medal, the NASA Distinguished Service Medal and the three time recipient of the NASA Group Achievement Award. He is the author of Psychic Exploration: A Challenge for Science, The Way of the Explorer and numerous articles. His most current lecture series discusses the implications of recent discoveries in science as they affect our individual lives and society at large.

His extraordinary and varied career personifies humankind's eternal thrust to widen its horizons as well as explore its inner soul.

"Suddenly, from behind the rim of the moon, in long, slow motion movements of immense majesty, there emerges a sparkling blue and white jewel, a light, delicate sky blue sphere laced with slowly moving swirling veils of white, rising gradually like a small pearl in a thick sea of black mystery -- It takes more than a moment to fully realize that this is Earth -- home."
