I don't think we're going to build a 50-person spacecraft or a 100-person spacecraft.
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
Instead of planning the retirement of the Space Shuttle program, America should be preparing the shuttles for their next step in space: evolving, not shutting them down and laying off thousands of people.
Buzz Aldrin
I feel we need to remind the world about the Apollo missions and that we can still do impossible things.
Buzz Aldrin
Armstrong described the lunar surface as 'beautiful.' I thought to myself, 'It's not really beautiful. It's magnificent that we're here, but what a desolate place we are visiting.'
Buzz Aldrin
We need the next generation to be motivated and to push technological boundaries, to seek out new innovations.
Buzz Aldrin
The moon I see now is the same moon I saw before. Except that before, when I looked at it, it was in anticipation of what it would be like when I got there. That's behind me now.
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
Going back to the moon is not visionary in restoring space leadership for America. Like its Apollo predecessor, it will prove to be a dead end littered with broken spacecraft, broken dreams and broken policies.
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
The view from space is like having a globe on your desk -- it's a broadening experience.
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
The big companies are the private industry. But they're faced with a short-term need to show a profit in short-term.
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
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.
Buzz Aldrin
Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. I am the first man to piss his pants on the moon.
Buzz Aldrin
There are always door openings. And gradually, it accumulates. The opportunities open up in front of you.
Buzz Aldrin
The universe is the way it is. It's not going to be changed by supplications.
Buzz Aldrin
Human rights problems will always exist for years to come, but maybe they'll lessen somewhat.
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
