My sister called me Buzzard when I was a baby - she couldn't say Brother so I've been Buzz my whole life.

I still say, 'Shoot for the moon you might get there.'

We need to begin thinking about building permanence on the Red Planet, not just have voyagers do some experiments, plant a flag and claim success. Having them go there, repeat this, in my view, is dim-witted. Why not stay there?
Buzz Aldrin
Image
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.

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.

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.

To appropriately respond to an emergency requires a very clear mind, to cooly analyze what the observations are and how to fix it.

Most people never believed in the real possibility of going to the moon, and neither did I until I was in my twenties.

Over the years, I think I've matured in my spiritual evolution and development to understand a bit more than the narrow religious thinking - to move beyond that through a sort of perfection of the grandiose nature of the universe, and how perfect it is it in its sense and how satisfied we should all be in our place in that.
