Any observations from the Moon or a sense of realising this or that about the greater meaning of things wasn't as influential for me as the experience of coming back and dealing with being a person who's been to the Moon.

More quotes by Buzz Aldrin
Exploring and colonizing Mars can bring us new scientific understanding of climate change, of how planet-wide processes can make a warm and wet world into a barren landscape. By exploring and understanding Mars, we may gain key insights into the past and future of our own world.
Buzz Aldrin
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.
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!
Buzz Aldrin
'Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame' tells it like it really was in America's early space program - the adventure, the risks, and the rewards.
Buzz Aldrin
I've been to the Titanic in a yellow submarine and the North Pole in a Russian nuclear ice breaker.
Buzz Aldrin
We're number one on the runway.
Buzz Aldrin
By venturing into space, we improve life for everyone here on Earth - scientific advances and innovations that come from this kind of research create products we use in our daily lives.
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
The energy varies with the square of the velocity, so if you need five times the velocity, that's 25 times the energy.
Buzz Aldrin
Space tourism is a logical outgrowth of the adventure tourist market.
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
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.
Buzz Aldrin
In space, you don't get that much noise. Noise doesn't propagate in a vacuum.
Buzz Aldrin
For the future, primarily, we must educate people in science, engineering, technology and math.
Buzz Aldrin
Mars is far more attractive as an outpost colony for earthlings than the moon is.
Buzz Aldrin
I am excited to think that the development of commercial capabilities to send humans into low Earth orbit will likely result in so many more Earthlings being able to experience the transformative power of space flight.
Buzz Aldrin
I think there would be no shortage of applicants to the government astronaut corps to be settlers on the planet Mars. And I think this would be very inspiring.
Buzz Aldrin
There's no doubt who was a leader in space after the Apollo Program. Nobody came close to us. And our education system, in science, technology, engineering and math, was at the top of the world. It's no longer there. We're descending rather rapidly.
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
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.
