Former astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who says he underwent a profound spiritual transformation during his flight to the moon, will discuss the possibility of consciousness surviving after death during a May 4 lecture at UNLV.

The talk will take place at 7 p.m. in the Hendrix Auditorium, located adjacent to the Carlson Education Building. Sponsored by the Bigelow Chair of Consciousness Studies at UNLV, the event is free and open to the public.

Mitchell will discuss the insights into the mind offered by the science of quantum physics and its bearing on the possibility of survival of consciousness after death. During his mission to the moon, Mitchell conducted ESP experiments. He has said, "We went to the moon as technicians; we returned as humanitarians."

Part of the Apollo XIV mission in 1971, Mitchell was the sixth man to walk on the moon. He has been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the NASA Distinguished Service Medal. A scientist, test pilot, naval officer, and author of several books, Mitchell earned a doctoral degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In 1973, he founded The Institute of Noetic Sciences to further research the nature of human consciousness.
