NASA's lawsuit against moonwalker to go forward

David Shiga, reporter

NASA isn't pleased: it is suing the sixth man on the moon after learning that he intended to sell an Apollo 14 camera.

Edgar Mitchell says NASA agreed to let astronauts keep some mission mementos. In 1971, he landed on the moon during the Apollo 14 mission. He brought a movie camera home with him that had been on the lunar lander.

After ferrying Mitchell and Alan Shepard between the command module and the moon's surface, the lander was allowed to crash onto the moon. NASA had planned to bring the film back to Earth but leave the camera on the lander, meaning it would have been destroyed too.

In June, NASA filed a lawsuit to force Mitchell to return the camera. Mitchell sought to have the case dismissed, but a Florida judge ruled last week that it will go to trial late in 2012.
