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.

More quotes by Buzz Aldrin
When I am getting ready to cross a street, I look both ways before crossing. My bones, my muscles, are not what they used to be, so I am careful when I go up and down stairs, because I've heard stories of older people falling and having very disabling injuries. I have enough things that begin to go a little bit wrong as I get a little bit older.
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
Everyone should take their hats off to Neil Armstrong. He is a humble guy who doesn't wave his own flag.
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
Any observations from the Moon or a sense of realising this or that about the greater meaning of things wasn't as influential for me as the experience of coming back and dealing with being a person who's been to the Moon.
Buzz Aldrin
As time goes by, I'm increasingly impressed by how very special and timely it was that we got the degree of national commitment needed to put people on the Moon. For the first time, this nation was united in trying to develop an interplanetary capability. We've been trying to repeat that situation ever since.
Buzz Aldrin
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.
Buzz Aldrin
Computers allow us to squeeze the most out of everything, whether it's Google looking up things, so I guess that tends to make us a little lazy about reading books and doing things the hard way to understand how those things work.
Buzz Aldrin
America can take man to the moon, and America can take men to Mars - and beyond.
Buzz Aldrin
When we set out to land people on the surface of Mars, I think we should as a nation, as a world, commit ourselves to supporting a growing settlement and colonization there. To visit a few times and then withdraw would be an unforgivable waste of resources.
Buzz Aldrin
I don't believe any pair of people had been more removed physically from the rest of the world than we were.
Buzz Aldrin
There's a historical milestone in the fact that our Apollo 11 landing on the moon took place a mere 66 years after the Wright Brothers' first flight.
Buzz Aldrin
Astronauts are not superhuman. They lead ordinary lives and have varied personalities.
Buzz Aldrin
I think the people who experienced the Apollo missions came away from that experience wondering to themselves, 'When can we get a chance to experience spaceflight?' I've heard that many, many times: that people got into a new career field hoping that they would be able to experience spaceflight.
Buzz Aldrin
My Sunday mornings are spent in a recovery meeting in Pacific Palisades.
Buzz Aldrin
I feel we need to remind the world about the Apollo missions and that we can still do impossible things.
Buzz Aldrin
My favourite thing to do on this planet is to scuba dive.
Buzz Aldrin
Trips to Mars, the Moon, even orbit, will require that we provide astrotourists with as many comforts from home as possible, including paying each other.
Buzz Aldrin
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
It's real easy to manufacture what you think the people want to hear. But that's not very honest.
Buzz Aldrin
