More quotes by Buzz Aldrin
There are always door openings. And gradually, it accumulates. The opportunities open up in front of you.
Buzz Aldrin
Going back to the moon is not visionary in restoring space leadership for America. Like its Apollo predecessor, it will prove to be a dead end littered with broken spacecraft, broken dreams and broken policies.
Buzz Aldrin
Mars is there, waiting to be reached.
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
I want to reach a new generation. That's why I am Twittering now. I have a BlackBerry, an iPhone and a Mac.
Buzz Aldrin
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.
Buzz Aldrin
Somebody would think I was trying to get favored treatment because my ancestors had the name Moon. And that's a joke.
Buzz Aldrin
I think there would be no shortage of applicants to the government astronaut corps to be settlers on the planet Mars. And I think this would be very inspiring.
Buzz Aldrin
We need to begin thinking about building permanence on the Red Planet, not just have voyagers do some experiments, plant a flag and claim success. Having them go there, repeat this, in my view, is dim-witted. Why not stay there?
Buzz Aldrin
Going to Mars would evolve humankind into a two-planet species.
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
Because of his military service, Dad was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
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
It's not easy to get human beings into orbit. So far only three nations have been able to do that, with all the resources that they put together. And I'm just a little skeptical that that's going to be done by the private sector without making use of what has been done by the government.
Buzz Aldrin
Anything we can do in the near future that begins to stimulate the interest of people - seeing somebody down the street have an opportunity to go into space - buoys up the whole neighborhood.
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
I still say, 'Shoot for the moon you might get there.'
Buzz Aldrin
You can tell I'm not too bashful about some of my feelings.
Buzz Aldrin
The best way to study Mars is with two hands, eyes and ears of a geologist, first at a moon orbiting Mars... and then on the surface.
Buzz Aldrin
They didn’t tell me I was going into space until after they locked the shuttle doors and started counting down.
