You can tell I'm not too bashful about some of my feelings.
Buzz Aldrin
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
The pilgrims on the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. To my knowledge, they didn't wait around for a return trip to Europe. You settle some place with a purpose. If you don't want to do that, stay home. You avoid an awful lot of risks by not venturing outward.
Buzz Aldrin
There are always door openings. And gradually, it accumulates. The opportunities open up in front of you.
Buzz Aldrin
I was given permission to serve myself Communion, with wine and a wafer, on the surface on the Moon. But I was advised not to say anything about it at the time. Someone had strongly objected to the Apollo 8 crew reading from the Bible. We didn't want to get into any further trouble with the religious critics.
Buzz Aldrin
Absolutely the United States should lead in space, for the survival of the United States. It's inspiring for the next generation. If we lose leadership, then we'll be using Chinese capability to inspire Americans.
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
In Mars, we've been given a wonderful set of moons where we can send continuous numbers of people.
Buzz Aldrin
I think it's inevitable that there will be Earthlings establishing a presence on Mars. And I would say that it would certainly take place by 2050 or shortly thereafter.
Buzz Aldrin
Globalisation means many other countries are asserting themselves and trying to take over leadership. Please don't ask Americans to let others assume the leadership of human exploration. We can do wonderful science on the Moon, and wonderful commercial things. Then we can pack up and move on to Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
I'm not in favor of just taking short-term isolated situations and depleting our resources to keep our climate just the way it is today.
Buzz Aldrin
I was lucky enough to have been born on this planet earth, in this admirable country of the United States of America.
Buzz Aldrin
I participated with great honor in becoming one of the first to land on the moon, and now I am devoting and have devoted many years of my life to enabling Americans to lead international nations to permanence on the planet Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
It was challenging to understand what was necessary to successfully carry out all the training simulations that we, as crewmen, would experience, and make a very successful use of that training and education.
Buzz Aldrin
We can't start over and develop a Saturn 5-type vehicle from scratch.
Buzz Aldrin
Some things just can't be described. And stepping onto the moon was one of them.
Buzz Aldrin
Timing has always been a key element in my life. I have been blessed to have been in the right place at the right time.
Buzz Aldrin
The view from space is like having a globe on your desk -- it's a broadening experience.
Buzz Aldrin
I came to dedicate my life to opening space to the average person and crafting designs for new spaceships that could take us far from home. But since Apollo ended, such travels were only in our collective memory.
Buzz Aldrin
Most people never believed in the real possibility of going to the moon, and neither did I until I was in my twenties.
Buzz Aldrin
