What comes after the moon? I think you can guess: Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
The way I see it, commercial interests should manage a lunar base while NASA gets on with the really important task of flying to Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
As we begin to have landings on the moon, we can alternate those with vertical launch of similar crew modules on similar launch vehicles for vertical-launch tourism in space, if you want to call it that adventure travel.

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
Image

America can take man to the moon, and America can take men to Mars - and beyond.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
When the time comes to start building deep space transports and refueling rocket tankers, it will be the commercial industry that steps up, not another government-owned, government-managed enterprise.
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
Image
Space tourism is a logical outgrowth of the adventure tourist market.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
In space, you don't get that much noise. Noise doesn't propagate in a vacuum.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
I'm not in favor of just taking short-term isolated situations and depleting our resources to keep our climate just the way it is today.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Instead of planning the retirement of the Space Shuttle program, America should be preparing the shuttles for their next step in space: evolving, not shutting them down and laying off thousands of people.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
History gets reinterpreted as time goes on. Many times, the participants are lost in the retelling of the story.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
We can't start over and develop a Saturn 5-type vehicle from scratch.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
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.

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.
