Mars is the symbolic and totally stimulating next objective that could so dominate the next century's exploration efforts. From Mars, the resources of all the asteroids will become readily available.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
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.

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

I want to keep on the move, keep stimulated and challenged.

A space program that truly goes somewhere! With his deeds, not only words, President Obama has revitalized our struggling space program.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
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.

I want to reach a new generation. That's why I am Twittering now. I have a BlackBerry, an iPhone and a Mac.

Image
I realize that my life is not the common ordinary person.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
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
Image
Most people never believed in the real possibility of going to the moon, and neither did I until I was in my twenties.

I failed music when I was a teenager.

I don't believe any pair of people had been more removed physically from the rest of the world than we were.
