Spend a day at the Air and Space museum at the Smithsonian. You'll see rockets, space capsules, satellites and maybe even human beings. Visit Titusville, Fl and watch a launch. Go to any weather website that has live satellite video. Track the ISS and view it for yourself if it passes over your area. All based on real facts. That's why I believe human space travel.
It's not just word of mouth, or grainy photos/videos.
Now, if we start at the very basics of aliens visiting Earth, we have no verifiable, real, tangible facts. Not of alien beings, UFO and alien connections, or interstellar space travel. Those are based on word of mouth stories. You can't even get out of the gate with one verifiable fact.

For me, it's not a question of more ... it's a question of just one shred of irrefutable evidence. That's all.
And again from the UKMailonline on Edgar Mitchell: Apollo 14 astronaut claims aliens HAVE made contact - but it has been covered up for 60 years "Aliens have contacted humans several times but governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed.

Good point that I hadn't considered. I actually have been to the Air & Space Museum BTW, and it's one of my favorite places in the world. The problem is that by your original statement, anyone could say that the LM and Apollo capsule are just props because for whatever reason, space travel is impossible, as I'm sure you've seen here on ATS with the moon hoax threads.
I'm not criticizing people for not believing, but I am saying that the current evidence, as weak as you think it is, must be considered in it's totality as at least a possibility of an unearthly phenomenon. Not to do so shows a closed mind or ignorance of the magnitude of that evidence. What's the difference between people like you and the moon hoaxers?
Everything you say here is true, however it should be enough to open anyone's mind to consider the possibility. If not, then the only conclusion anyone can come to is that you just don't want to.
Again, not believing is perfectly reasonable IMO, but not considering makes no sense just from a human standpoint.

Now the skeptics and non-believers who dispute what Mitchell says are going to claim he is full of hot air or is
lying. Really? A famous astronaut who walked on the Moon lie just to gain attention? I don't think so.

I don't know if this has been pointed out or not, but, you do understand Edgar Mitchell is telling stories second-hand, correct? This isn't first-hand knowledge. He's never seen an alien body, photographs of alien bodies, a UFO, or been involved with any type of "alien contact". That's by his own admission. This story gets told so many times that the facts get confused. Same thing happens with the Gordon Cooper story about witnessing a UFO land in the desert. When in fact he didn't witness anything. He was only telling a story told to him by his film crew. I've seen so many television programs about UFOs giving 70% of a story and conveniently leaving out the other 30%.

You found it on the Internet, I guess that means it must be true.

Are you saying it is a lie? Are you saying the quotes are fallacious and made-up?
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time,

Many people believe this will happen, others say never and in the meantime we speculate on the truth.
And I will continue to take quotes given over the internet as basically accurate - until proven otherwise.

No, that is not the main lesson. When it comes to UFOs and alien intelligence, and to many other subjects,
the main lesson is:

Your wasting your time, proof means nothing to people who are this Skeptical. Can you imagine how miserable the people around them are. It is proven, negativity breeds negativity. Watch them say something about that too, lol.
He reminds me of a friends father. In the late 70's there was a ufo sighting where most of the people where we lived saw it. My friends father saw it with his own eyes but still refused to believe it. There were doctors, police, etc. But he would not believe, he was a very Skeptical and negative person.
He could not allow his mind to believe something he saw with his own eyes. Multiple reports and questions to the airforce went unanswered.
Look forward to the day we know for sure.
