More quotes by Buzz Aldrin
In space, you don't get that much noise. Noise doesn't propagate in a vacuum.
Buzz Aldrin
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
America can take man to the moon, and America can take men to Mars - and beyond.
Buzz Aldrin
There's a need for accepting responsibility - for a person's life and making choices that are not just ones for immediate short-term comfort. You need to make an investment, and the investment is in health and education.
Buzz Aldrin
I felt pretty confident in relieving myself, since I had the urge.
Buzz Aldrin
We can't start over and develop a Saturn 5-type vehicle from scratch.
Buzz Aldrin
Space tourism is a logical outgrowth of the adventure tourist market.
Buzz Aldrin
As we begin to have landings on the moon, we can alternate those with vertical launch of similar crew modules on similar launch vehicles for vertical-launch tourism in space, if you want to call it that adventure travel.
Buzz Aldrin
I'm sure that there are places in the deserts in Australia that could be similar to where we might want to go on Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
Mars is there, waiting to be reached.
Buzz Aldrin
I don't think we're going to build a 50-person spacecraft or a 100-person spacecraft.
Buzz Aldrin
Anything we can do in the near future that begins to stimulate the interest of people - seeing somebody down the street have an opportunity to go into space - buoys up the whole neighborhood.
Buzz Aldrin
I want to reach a new generation. That's why I am Twittering now. I have a BlackBerry, an iPhone and a Mac.
Buzz Aldrin
Globalisation means many other countries are asserting themselves and trying to take over leadership. Please don't ask Americans to let others assume the leadership of human exploration. We can do wonderful science on the Moon, and wonderful commercial things. Then we can pack up and move on to Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
Returning to the Moon with NASA astronauts is not the best usage of our resources. Because OUR resources should be directed to outward, beyond-the-moon, to establishing habitation and laboratories on the surface of Mars that can be built, assembled, from the close-by moons of Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
To me, money is a commodity that a person must have to function, not a goal in itself.
Buzz Aldrin
Whenever I gaze up at the moon, I feel like I'm on a time machine. I am back to that precious pinpoint of time, standing on the foreboding - yet beautiful - Sea of Tranquility. I could see our shining blue planet Earth poised in the darkness of space.
Buzz Aldrin
Once you've been first, it cannot be done again. Not by you, not by anyone else.
Buzz Aldrin
There are a lot of reasons for not doing something. And if humanity had come up with all the reasons for not doing something we wouldn't have spread across the Earth the way we have. There's a curiosity, and I would submit that that curiosity will put human beings on the surface of Mars.
Buzz Aldrin
You can never tell when a commercial space venture will suddenly become viable.
