So-o?

Caught this on LiveScience

Former Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell made news recently with claims about UFOs and alien cover-ups. Though Mitchell said he never saw any UFOs during his time with NASA, he believes stories he has heard from others about the 1947 crash in Roswell, New Mexico.

In addition to UFOs, Mitchell also believes in psychics and mystical healers.

As the title of this post shows I am not all that impressed by the fact that an astronaut would believe in this. My first thought was what kind of credentials does that give him? He's been to the moon? Okay. So-o?

Then I thought of the astronaut who drove across the south wearing an adult diaper to go kill someone. Being an astronaut does not exempt one from being a kook.
