Knowledge of the past and an optimistic view of the present give you great opportunities.

American greatness was elevated significantly after Sputnik.

Exploration is wired into our brains. If we can see the horizon, we want to know what's beyond.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
For the future, primarily, we must educate people in science, engineering, technology and math.

I think humans will reach Mars, and I would like to see it happen in my lifetime.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
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.

It was challenging to understand what was necessary to successfully carry out all the training simulations that we, as crewmen, would experience, and make a very successful use of that training and education.

I'm sure that there are places in the deserts in Australia that could be similar to where we might want to go on Mars.

The view from space is like having a globe on your desk -- it's a broadening experience.
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
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
Image
We have the ability, at such high fidelity, to simulate the physical world through computers. But when the spiritual world or human behavior comes into play, we don't have a very good model for that 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
Mars could very well be a staging location for the resources of the asteroid belt. We have to learn how to get a payback somewhere, but it's beyond Mars that the real payoff will come from minerals.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
My first inclination is to be a bit skeptical about the claims that human-produced carbon dioxide is the direct contributor to global warming.

Armstrong described the lunar surface as 'beautiful.' I thought to myself, 'It's not really beautiful. It's magnificent that we're here, but what a desolate place we are visiting.'

By venturing into space, we improve life for everyone here on Earth - scientific advances and innovations that come from this kind of research create products we use in our daily lives.

Because of his military service, Dad was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
