More quotes by Buzz Aldrin
We need the next generation to be motivated and to push technological boundaries, to seek out new innovations.
Buzz Aldrin
I want to keep on the move, keep stimulated and challenged.
Buzz Aldrin
Climate has been changing for billions of years.
Buzz Aldrin
To send humans back to the moon would not be advancing. It would be more than 50 years after the first moon landing when we got there, and we'd probably be welcomed by the Chinese. But we should return to the moon without astronauts and build, with robots, an international lunar base, so that we know how to build a base on Mars robotically.
Buzz Aldrin
Mars has been flown by, orbited, smacked into, radar examined, and rocketed onto, as well as bounced upon, rolled over, shoveled, drilled into, baked and even blasted. Still to come: Mars being stepped on.
Buzz Aldrin
Russia perhaps is still entertaining the possibility that the moons of Mars might have access to ice or water.
Buzz Aldrin
Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. I am the first man to piss his pants on the moon.
Buzz Aldrin
My sister called me Buzzard when I was a baby - she couldn't say Brother so I've been Buzz my whole life.
Buzz Aldrin
The government needs a role in carrying out exploration. They will be leading the development of the engines that are needed, and the private sector will take advantage of those.
Buzz Aldrin
In Mars, we've been given a wonderful set of moons where we can send continuous numbers of people.
Buzz Aldrin
No dream is too high for those with their eyes in the sky!
Buzz Aldrin
Having walked on the Moon, I know something about what we need to explore, really explore, in space.
Buzz Aldrin
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
I suggest that going to Mars means permanence on the planet - a mission by which we are building up a confidence level to become a two-planet species.
Buzz Aldrin
Returning to the Moon with NASA astronauts is not the best usage of our resources. Because OUR resources should be directed to outward, beyond-the-moon, to establishing habitation and laboratories on the surface of Mars that can be built, assembled, from the close-by moons of Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
The feeling of reduced gravity and the limitations of the space suit resulted in a slow-motion movement. Perhaps not too far from a trampoline, but without the springiness and instability.
Buzz Aldrin
For every winner, there's a loser. And that person didn't really need to lose. They just didn't understand the game plan.
Buzz Aldrin
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
Don't waste your time on beaming people up or down. Instead, consider gravity waves as advanced physics of the universe that could be used to travel interstellar distances.
Buzz Aldrin
Exploration is wired into our brains. If we can see the horizon, we want to know what's beyond.
