More quotes by Buzz Aldrin
This is the LM pilot. I'd like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in, whoever and wherever they may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours and to give thanks in his or her own way.
Buzz Aldrin
NASA needs to focus on the things that are really important and that we do not know how to do. The agency is a pioneering force, and that is where its competitive advantage lies.
Buzz Aldrin
To me, money is a commodity that a person must have to function, not a goal in itself.
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
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
Globalisation means many other countries are asserting themselves and trying to take over leadership. Please don't ask Americans to let others assume the leadership of human exploration. We can do wonderful science on the Moon, and wonderful commercial things. Then we can pack up and move on to Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
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.'
Buzz Aldrin
Russia perhaps is still entertaining the possibility that the moons of Mars might have access to ice or water.
Buzz Aldrin
I am excited to think that the development of commercial capabilities to send humans into low Earth orbit will likely result in so many more Earthlings being able to experience the transformative power of space flight.
Buzz Aldrin
Having walked on the Moon, I know something about what we need to explore, really explore, in space.
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
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.
Buzz Aldrin
Walking around on the moon was significantly easier than we'd thought it would be. There weren't any balance problems, so you weren't tumbling over.
Buzz Aldrin
I've been to the Titanic in a yellow submarine and the North Pole in a Russian nuclear ice breaker.
Buzz Aldrin
You can tell I'm not too bashful about some of my feelings.
Buzz Aldrin
Don't waste your time on beaming people up or down. Instead, consider gravity waves as advanced physics of the universe that could be used to travel interstellar distances.
Buzz Aldrin
They didn’t tell me I was going into space until after they locked the shuttle doors and started counting down.
Buzz Aldrin
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
For every winner, there's a loser. And that person didn't really need to lose. They just didn't understand the game plan.
Buzz Aldrin
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.
