More quotes by Buzz Aldrin
American greatness was elevated significantly after Sputnik.
Buzz Aldrin
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
Everyone should take their hats off to Neil Armstrong. He is a humble guy who doesn't wave his own flag.
Buzz Aldrin
When we set out to land people on the surface of Mars, I think we should as a nation, as a world, commit ourselves to supporting a growing settlement and colonization there. To visit a few times and then withdraw would be an unforgivable waste of resources.
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
I participated with great honor in becoming one of the first to land on the moon, and now I am devoting and have devoted many years of my life to enabling Americans to lead international nations to permanence on the planet Mars.
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
NASA needs to focus on the things that are really important and that we do not know how to do. The agency is a pioneering force, and that is where its competitive advantage lies.
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
Fighter pilots have ice in their veins. They don't have emotions. They think, anticipate. They know that fear and other concerns cloud your mind from what's going on and what you should be involved in.
Buzz Aldrin
No dream is too high for those with their eyes in the sky!
Buzz Aldrin
Knowledge of the past and an optimistic view of the present give you great opportunities.
Buzz Aldrin
I don't believe any pair of people had been more removed physically from the rest of the world than we were.
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 feel we need to remind the world about the Apollo missions and that we can still do impossible things.
Buzz Aldrin
We have the ability, at such high fidelity, to simulate the physical world through computers. But when the spiritual world or human behavior comes into play, we don't have a very good model for that at all.
Buzz Aldrin
In space, you don't get that much noise. Noise doesn't propagate in a vacuum.
Buzz Aldrin
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.
Buzz Aldrin
My own American Dream was to serve my country as best I could and make a difference in America - and in the world.
Buzz Aldrin
Somebody would think I was trying to get favored treatment because my ancestors had the name Moon. And that's a joke.
Buzz Aldrin
