More quotes by 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
The way I see it, commercial interests should manage a lunar base while NASA gets on with the really important task of flying to Mars.
Buzz Aldrin

History gets reinterpreted as time goes on. Many times, the participants are lost in the retelling of the story.
Buzz Aldrin
To me, money is a commodity that a person must have to function, not a goal in itself.

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.
