Edgar Mitchell
Edgar Mitchell, D.Sc. was born September 17, 1930. He is an American pilot and astronaut. As the lunar module pilot of Apollo 14, he spent nine hours working on the lunar surface in the Fra Mauro Highlands region, making him the sixth person to walk on the Moon.
Mitchell was selected to be an astronaut in 1966 and was seconded from the Navy to NASA. He was backup lunar module pilot for Apollo 10 and flew (again as LM pilot) on Apollo 14. Together with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard he holds the record for the longest ever moonwalking session (9 hours and 17 minutes). Apollo 14 was his only spaceflight. Ed Mitchell remained with NASA until he retired from the Navy in 1972.
