I think there would be no shortage of applicants to the government astronaut corps to be settlers on the planet Mars. And I think this would be very inspiring.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Having walked on the Moon, I know something about what we need to explore, really explore, in space.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Retain the vision for space exploration. If we turn our backs on the vision again, we're going to have to live in a secondary position in human space flight for the rest of the century.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
What comes after the moon? I think you can guess: Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Program Alarm, it's a 1202.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
We need the next generation to be motivated and to push technological boundaries, to seek out new innovations.
Buzz Aldrin
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.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Mars is there, waiting to be reached.
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
I'm in favor of changing the destination of humans. There are a lot of manned missions that can be done, but not in the direction of the moon.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
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
Image
Going to Mars would evolve humankind into a two-planet species.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
I feel we need to remind the world about the Apollo missions and that we can still do impossible things.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Human rights problems will always exist for years to come, but maybe they'll lessen somewhat.
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
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
Image
Climate has been changing for billions of years.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Unless we are able to commit to a permanent growing settlement [on Mars], then I don't think just going there with humans and coming back is worth doing. The expense of planning to come back is like the people who left Europe to come to America and then to turn around and go back to Europe, it really doesn't make any sense at all.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
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
Image
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.
