More quotes by Buzz Aldrin
No dream is too high for those with their eyes in the sky!
Buzz Aldrin
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.
Buzz Aldrin
In space, you don't get that much noise. Noise doesn't propagate in a vacuum.
Buzz Aldrin
As someone who flew two space capsules and twice landed in the ocean, I can attest from personal experience how much logistics work is needed to get you home.
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
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
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
Going to Mars would evolve humankind into a two-planet species.
Buzz Aldrin
At 10,000 feet, the 3 parachutes would come out, a little lower the pressure of the atmosphere outside was greater than inside, and we could smell the salt air and it was very encouraging to return to earth.
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
The energy varies with the square of the velocity, so if you need five times the velocity, that's 25 times the energy.
Buzz Aldrin
It's real easy to manufacture what you think the people want to hear. But that's not very honest.
Buzz Aldrin
What comes after the moon? I think you can guess: Mars.
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
I felt pretty confident in relieving myself, since I had the urge.
Buzz Aldrin
When we can demonstrate that we can take off horizontally and put something into orbit, then we can begin to talk about increasing the amount of payload. But to say, 'I'm going to do that and put people into orbit' is a real leap.
Buzz Aldrin
American greatness was elevated significantly after Sputnik.
Buzz Aldrin
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
I came to dedicate my life to opening space to the average person and crafting designs for new spaceships that could take us far from home. But since Apollo ended, such travels were only in our collective memory.
Buzz Aldrin
We can continue to try and clean up the gutters all over the world and spend all of our resources looking at just the dirty spots and trying to make them clean. Or we can lift our eyes up and look into the skies and move forward in an evolutionary way.
Buzz Aldrin
