More quotes by Buzz Aldrin
Going to Mars would evolve humankind into a two-planet species.
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
The pilgrims on the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. To my knowledge, they didn't wait around for a return trip to Europe. You settle some place with a purpose. If you don't want to do that, stay home. You avoid an awful lot of risks by not venturing outward.
Buzz Aldrin
Human rights problems will always exist for years to come, but maybe they'll lessen somewhat.
Buzz Aldrin
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
I think it's inevitable that there will be Earthlings establishing a presence on Mars. And I would say that it would certainly take place by 2050 or shortly thereafter.
Buzz Aldrin
No dream is too high for those with their eyes in the sky!
Buzz Aldrin
In space, you don't get that much noise. Noise doesn't propagate in a vacuum.
Buzz Aldrin
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.
Buzz Aldrin
Astronauts are not superhuman. They lead ordinary lives and have varied personalities.
Buzz Aldrin
We feel that this stands as a symbol of the insatiable curiosity of all mankind to explore the unknown.
Buzz Aldrin
The feeling of reduced gravity and the limitations of the space suit resulted in a slow-motion movement. Perhaps not too far from a trampoline, but without the springiness and instability.
Buzz Aldrin
What are you going to do with astronauts who first reach the surface of Mars and then turn around and rocket back home-ward? What are they going to do, write their memoirs? Would they go again? Having them repeat the voyage, in my view, is dim-witted. Why don't they stay there on Mars?
Buzz Aldrin
As someone who flew two space capsules and twice landed in the ocean, I can attest from personal experience how much logistics work is needed to get you home.
Buzz Aldrin
When we can demonstrate that we can take off horizontally and put something into orbit, then we can begin to talk about increasing the amount of payload. But to say, 'I'm going to do that and put people into orbit' is a real leap.
Buzz Aldrin
I think humans will reach Mars, and I would like to see it happen in my lifetime.
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
History gets reinterpreted as time goes on. Many times, the participants are lost in the retelling of the story.
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
I realize that my life is not the common ordinary person.
