To appropriately respond to an emergency requires a very clear mind, to cooly analyze what the observations are and how to fix it.

In Mars, we've been given a wonderful set of moons where we can send continuous numbers of people.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
I'm in favor of changing the destination of humans. There are a lot of manned missions that can be done, but not in the direction of the moon.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Walking around on the moon was significantly easier than we'd thought it would be. There weren't any balance problems, so you weren't tumbling over.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Somebody would think I was trying to get favored treatment because my ancestors had the name Moon. And that's a joke.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Russia perhaps is still entertaining the possibility that the moons of Mars might have access to ice or water.

To send humans back to the moon would not be advancing. It would be more than 50 years after the first moon landing when we got there, and we'd probably be welcomed by the Chinese. But we should return to the moon without astronauts and build, with robots, an international lunar base, so that we know how to build a base on Mars robotically.

Just as Mars - a desert planet - gives us insights into global climate change on Earth, the promise awaits for bringing back to life portions of the Red Planet through the application of Earth Science to its similar chemistry, possibly reawakening its life-bearing potential.

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.

What are you going to do with astronauts who first reach the surface of Mars and then turn around and rocket back home-ward? What are they going to do, write their memoirs? Would they go again? Having them repeat the voyage, in my view, is dim-witted. Why don't they stay there on Mars?

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.

My sister called me Buzzard when I was a baby - she couldn't say Brother so I've been Buzz my whole life.

Timing has always been a key element in my life. I have been blessed to have been in the right place at the right time.

History gets reinterpreted as time goes on. Many times, the participants are lost in the retelling of the story.

Image
Once you've been first, it cannot be done again. Not by you, not by anyone else.

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

The universe is the way it is. It's not going to be changed by supplications.

I didn't start skiing until I was 50. My wife Lois taught me how to ski. I'm proficiently conservative.

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.

Knowledge of the past and an optimistic view of the present give you great opportunities.
