For every winner, there's a loser. And that person didn't really need to lose. They just didn't understand the game plan.

More quotes by Buzz Aldrin
The big companies are the private industry. But they're faced with a short-term need to show a profit in short-term.
Buzz Aldrin
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
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
Anything we can do in the near future that begins to stimulate the interest of people - seeing somebody down the street have an opportunity to go into space - buoys up the whole neighborhood.
Buzz Aldrin
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
You need propellants to accelerate toward Mars, then to decelerate at Mars, again to re-accelerate from Mars to Earth, and finally to decelerate back at Earth. Accordingly, the mass of these required propellants, in short, drives our need for innovative launch vehicles.
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
It's real easy to manufacture what you think the people want to hear. But that's not very honest.
Buzz Aldrin
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
It's time to open the space frontier to citizen explorers.
Buzz Aldrin
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
Exploring and colonizing Mars can bring us new scientific understanding of climate change, of how planet-wide processes can make a warm and wet world into a barren landscape. By exploring and understanding Mars, we may gain key insights into the past and future of our own world.
Buzz Aldrin
There is very little doubt, in my mind, that what the next monumental achievement of humanity will be the first landing by an Earthling, a human being, on the planet Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
At 10,000 feet, the 3 parachutes would come out, a little lower the pressure of the atmosphere outside was greater than inside, and we could smell the salt air and it was very encouraging to return to earth.
Buzz Aldrin
Going back to the moon is not visionary in restoring space leadership for America. Like its Apollo predecessor, it will prove to be a dead end littered with broken spacecraft, broken dreams and broken policies.
Buzz Aldrin
We need the next generation to be motivated and to push technological boundaries, to seek out new innovations.
Buzz Aldrin
I think both the space shuttle program and the International Space Station program have not really lived up to their expectations.
Buzz Aldrin
The way I see it, commercial interests should manage a lunar base while NASA gets on with the really important task of flying to Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
Russia perhaps is still entertaining the possibility that the moons of Mars might have access to ice or water.
Buzz Aldrin
A space program that truly goes somewhere! With his deeds, not only words, President Obama has revitalized our struggling space program.
