More quotes by Buzz Aldrin
Dwelling on an engine failure for a pilot as he rolls down the runway is NOT what he should be thinking about - it's obtaining a smooth liftoff! But in the back of his mind, he knows exactly what to do (or pretty much) and in many cases, if he's alone in the fighter aircraft, he has to leave that aircraft in an ejection seat in a big hurry!

Armstrong described the lunar surface as 'beautiful.' I thought to myself, 'It's not really beautiful. It's magnificent that we're here, but what a desolate place we are visiting.'
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.

Unless we are able to commit to a permanent growing settlement [on Mars], then I don't think just going there with humans and coming back is worth doing. The expense of planning to come back is like the people who left Europe to come to America and then to turn around and go back to Europe, it really doesn't make any sense at all.

The pilgrims on the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. To my knowledge, they didn't wait around for a return trip to Europe. You settle some place with a purpose. If you don't want to do that, stay home. You avoid an awful lot of risks by not venturing outward.
Buzz Aldrin
Because of his military service, Dad was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Buzz Aldrin
The universe is the way it is. It's not going to be changed by supplications.
Buzz Aldrin
We can't start over and develop a Saturn 5-type vehicle from scratch.
Buzz Aldrin
I feel we need to remind the world about the Apollo missions and that we can still do impossible things.
Buzz Aldrin
To appropriately respond to an emergency requires a very clear mind, to cooly analyze what the observations are and how to fix it.
Buzz Aldrin
Computers allow us to squeeze the most out of everything, whether it's Google looking up things, so I guess that tends to make us a little lazy about reading books and doing things the hard way to understand how those things work.

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