Buzz Aldrin

There's a tremendously satisfying freedom associated with weightlessness. It's challenging in the absence of traction or leverage, and it requires thoughtful readjustment. I found the experience of weightlessness to be one of the most fun and enjoyable, challenging and rewarding, experiences of spaceflight. Returning to Earth brings with it a great sense of heaviness, and a need for careful movement. In some ways it's not too different from returning from a rocking ocean ship.

When the time comes to start building deep space transports and refueling rocket tankers, it will be the commercial industry that steps up, not another government-owned, government-managed enterprise. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

When I was a little kid, we only knew about our nine planets. Since then, we've downgraded Pluto but have discovered that other solar systems and stars are common. So life is probably quite prevalent. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

My expertise is the space program and what it should be in the future based on my experience of looking at the transitions that we've made between pre-Sputnik days and getting to the moon. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

The moon I see now is the same moon I saw before. Except that before, when I looked at it, it was in anticipation of what it would be like when I got there. That's behind me now. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

The society of life on Mars, or the challenge of making Mars more livable, will have significant benefits on our attempts to modify and change in some ways the environment here on Earth. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

By venturing into space, we improve life for everyone here on Earth - scientific advances and innovations that come from this kind of research create products we use in our daily lives. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

I really hate to be put in the position of trying to justify something, a decision that was made. I'm a military guy: when a decision is made, I go along with it, whatever the manufactured controversy and criticism. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

I think we need to move to the moons of Mars and learn how to control robots that are on the surface. It's not the impatient way of getting there, but Mars has been there a long time. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

Instead of planning the retirement of the Space Shuttle program, America should be preparing the shuttles for their next step in space: evolving, not shutting them down and laying off thousands of people. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

I wrote 'Reaching for the Moon' because I wanted to tell kids that all of us have a moon, a dream, that we can strive for. Even if you don't attain it, you can at least reach for it. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

I want people to go into space, to orbit around the world a few times, even to stay there for 24 hours and then come back to where they took off. And I also want people with a low income to be able to do that, not only rich people. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

Do we really need these big, gigantic, heavy rockets? What if we launch a rocket that's empty, and its sole purpose is to act as a source of fuel on the Moon? Who should build that? Well, I think the U.S. should build that. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

Apollo 11 will probably go down in history as one of the major responses of two nations facing each other with threatening technologies - sometimes called mutually assured destruction. It was also the America's response to the apparent superiority of the Russians in putting objects into space before USA could. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

Computers allow us to squeeze the most out of everything, whether it's Google looking up things, so I guess that tends to make us a little lazy about reading books and doing things the hard way to understand how those things work. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

Space is not just going up and coming back down again. Space is getting into orbit and being there, living there, establishing a presence, a permanence. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

My first biography written in '73 was not 'Journey To The Moon.' It was 'Return To Earth.' Because for me, that was the more difficult task - disappointment. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

When we can demonstrate that we can take off horizontally and put something into orbit, then we can begin to talk about increasing the amount of payload. But to say, 'I'm going to do that and put people into orbit' is a real leap. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

I expected the unexpected and went [on the Moon] with an open mind. I think the visual scene was described by my words on first landing - "magnificent desolation." Magnificent for the achievement of being there, and desolate for the eons of lifelessness. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

The surface of the moon is like nothing here on Earth! It's totally lacking any evidence of life. It has lots of fine, talcum-powderlike dust mixed with a complete variety of pebbles, rocks, and boulders. Many pebbles, fewer rocks, and even fewer boulders naturally make up its surface. The dust is a very fine, overall dark gray. And with no air molecules to separate the dust, it clings together like cement. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

My family has always supported my activities, whether it was doing combat in Korea, flying progressively and challenging fighter-jet aircraft in Europe, or studying for a doctor's degree at MIT. They have been always very supportive and understanding of the challenges and risks involved in my career. A family needs to work as a team, supporting each other's individual aims and aspirations.

As a youngster, I read of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. As a student, I wrote English reports on science fiction. And as a fighter pilot, I observed the selection of the Mercury astronauts. All this was fascinating, but I really didn't think I would ever be a part of it. It was only when my good friend Ed White was selected as a Gemini astronaut that I decided to join NASA as part of the Apollo program. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

Six out of seven times we landed successfully [on the Moon]. I wanted to be a part of that and I was a part of that, so my personal feeling is of great gratefulness for having somehow been in a position to have been given the opportunity to be on that first landing. That's a marvelous experience for a little kid that grew up in New Jersey. So I'm very thankful, and I asked the whole world to give thanks once we successfully landed.

There are a lot of reasons for not doing something. And if humanity had come up with all the reasons for not doing something we wouldn't have spread across the Earth the way we have. There's a curiosity, and I would submit that that curiosity will put human beings on the surface of Mars. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }

Unless we are able to commit to a permanent growing settlement [on Mars], then I don't think just going there with humans and coming back is worth doing. The expense of planning to come back is like the people who left Europe to come to America and then to turn around and go back to Europe, it really doesn't make any sense at all.

I have no doubt that humans will go to Mars. And I feel that America has led so many things in space - we have invested so much, and we have a lot to gain - that America could and should be the nation that should lead the settlement of Mars.

I have no intention of selling any more of the historical Apollo 11 items in my possession for the remainder of my life.

Whenever I gaze up at the moon, I feel like I'm on a time machine. I am back to that precious pinpoint of time, standing on the foreboding - yet beautiful - Sea of Tranquility.

Astronauts working for the government will always need to be either pilots or mission specialists. Those who want to be pilots should have military experience - ideally, a test pilot background. (Buzz Aldrin) [03/03/2018 03:03:03] comment quote { / 0 õîðîøî }
