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

There's a historical milestone in the fact that our Apollo 11 landing on the moon took place a mere 66 years after the Wright Brothers' first flight.

I'm not in favor of just taking short-term isolated situations and depleting our resources to keep our climate just the way it is today.

Mars is far more attractive as an outpost colony for earthlings than the moon is.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
It's not easy to get human beings into orbit. So far only three nations have been able to do that, with all the resources that they put together. And I'm just a little skeptical that that's going to be done by the private sector without making use of what has been done by the government.

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

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

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.

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.

I don't believe any pair of people had been more removed physically from the rest of the world than we were.

Human rights problems will always exist for years to come, but maybe they'll lessen somewhat.

By refocusing our space program on Mars for America's future, we can restore the sense of wonder and adventure in space exploration that we knew in the summer of 1969. We won the moon race now it's time for us to live and work on Mars, first on its moons and then on its surface.

Mars could very well be a staging location for the resources of the asteroid belt. We have to learn how to get a payback somewhere, but it's beyond Mars that the real payoff will come from minerals.

Space tourism is a logical outgrowth of the adventure tourist market.

The view from space is like having a globe on your desk -- it's a broadening experience.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Everyone who's been in space would, I'm sure, welcome the opportunity for a return to the exhilarating experiences there.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Retain the vision for space exploration. If we turn our backs on the vision again, we're going to have to live in a secondary position in human space flight for the rest of the century.

You can tell I'm not too bashful about some of my feelings.

Space is not just going up and coming back down again. Space is getting into orbit and being there, living there, establishing a presence, a permanence.

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.

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.
