More quotes by Buzz Aldrin

Buzz Aldrin
Look at what Silicon Valley has done - the advance of computers.
Buzz Aldrin
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
In space, you don't get that much noise. Noise doesn't propagate in a vacuum.
Buzz Aldrin
I don't believe any pair of people had been more removed physically from the rest of the world than we were.
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
Astronauts are not superhuman. They lead ordinary lives and have varied personalities.
Buzz Aldrin
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.
Buzz Aldrin
I felt pretty confident in relieving myself, since I had the urge.
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.
