Having walked on the Moon, I know something about what we need to explore, really explore, in space.

What comes after the moon? I think you can guess: Mars.

I don't think we're going to build a 50-person spacecraft or a 100-person spacecraft.

For a million dollars, the Russians would take two people, a million apiece, around the moon and back. However, stories, videos that come from the space station, and other people, are a great inspiration to young people for an exciting career field.

Image
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.

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.

There's no doubt who was a leader in space after the Apollo Program. Nobody came close to us. And our education system, in science, technology, engineering and math, was at the top of the world. It's no longer there. We're descending rather rapidly.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
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
Image
Russia perhaps is still entertaining the possibility that the moons of Mars might have access to ice or water.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Mars is there, waiting to be reached.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Exploration is wired into our brains. If we can see the horizon, we want to know what's beyond.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Is the destiny of the human species to sit back and play with our mouse and computer and imagine, fantasize?
Buzz Aldrin
Image
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?

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.

Everyone should take their hats off to Neil Armstrong. He is a humble guy who doesn't wave his own flag.
