Most people never believed in the real possibility of going to the moon, and neither did I until I was in my twenties.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
I still say, 'Shoot for the moon you might get there.'

We can't start over and develop a Saturn 5-type vehicle from scratch.

Image
Mars is far more attractive as an outpost colony for earthlings than the moon is.
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
Russia perhaps is still entertaining the possibility that the moons of Mars might have access to ice or water.

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.

The beauty of Hawaii probably surpasses other places. I like the Big Island and the two mountains, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, where you can look out at the stars.

Does it make sense for the U.S. to expend hundreds of billions of dollars to mount a new Apollo-style program to return to the moon? Or have we blazed that trail? Shouldn't we help other nations achieve this goal with their own resources but with our help?

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.

Mars has a bit of air pressure maybe we can build up that atmosphere to be a bit more accommodating to humans.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
By refocusing our space program on Mars for America's future, we can restore the sense of wonder and adventure in space exploration that we knew in the summer of 1969. We won the moon race now it's time for us to live and work on Mars, first on its moons and then on its surface.

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.

To send humans back to the moon would not be advancing. It would be more than 50 years after the first moon landing when we got there, and we'd probably be welcomed by the Chinese. But we should return to the moon without astronauts and build, with robots, an international lunar base, so that we know how to build a base on Mars robotically.

I was lucky enough to have been born on this planet earth, in this admirable country of the United States of America.

You can never tell when a commercial space venture will suddenly become viable.
