Apollo 14 Astronaut Ed Mitchell wrapped up a successful 2 day visit to the Pontefract area on Friday night. The Apollo 14 Astronaut spent two days in the immediate area lecturing to (excited) adults and excited school children alike during his two day visit. He managed to squeeze in media opportunities too. Mission Accomplished Ed!, it was a great two days. Congratulations also to the organiser Ken Willoughby who can now take a well deserved break; in recent years Ken has been successful in bringing in a host of Apollo era astronauts including:
Alan Bean, Apollo 12,
Charlie Duke, Apollo 16
Fred Haise, Apollo 13
Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11
I'm sure there are more to come.
