Edgar Mitchell was the Lunar Module Pilot for the Apollo 14 mission and the sixth man to walk on the surface of the Moon. Mitchell, along with Alan Shephard, spent 33 hours on the moon during this mission, collecting samples to bring back to Earth and performing a myriad of scientific experiments on the surface of Earth’s satellite.
