Apollo 11 will probably go down in history as one of the major responses of two nations facing each other with threatening technologies - sometimes called mutually assured destruction. It was also the America’s response to the apparent superiority of the Russians in putting objects into space before USA could (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
I wrote ‘Reaching for the Moon’ because I wanted to tell kids that all of us have a moon, a dream, that we can strive for. Even if you don’t attain it, you can at least reach for it (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
I think we need to move to the moons of Mars and learn how to control robots that are on the surface. It’s not the impatient way of getting there, but Mars has been there a long time (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
When I was a little kid, we only knew about our nine planets. Since then, we’ve downgraded Pluto but have discovered that other solar systems and stars are common. So life is probably quite prevalent (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)

I’m sure the most favorite airplane in my career would still be the Sabre F86 cleft wing , which allowed me to be credited with 2 Russian-built Mig-15 destroyed during the Korean War. Where I was in 1953 (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
Drive over to the nearest airport, and enroll in flight classes. You will experience the joy of freedom in the air above, as you study the mechanics of how this is made possible by understanding the construction, the laws of motion, the air that can provide lift when it is moved by propulsion through the air, and stay above the gravity pulling the airplane back down to earth (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
I would rather people understand that there is a very, very fortunate American who was given the opportunity, and was in the right place at the right time to have the moment of a lifetime. My mother was born - her name was Marianne Moon. And she was born in 1903, the year that the Wright Brothers first flew (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
I think the American Dream used to be achieving one’s goals in your field of choice - and from that, all other things would follow. Now, I think the dream has morphed into the pursuit of money: Accumulate enough of it, and the rest will follow (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
I have no intention of selling any more of the historical Apollo 11 items in my possession for the remainder of my life. I intend to pass a portion of these items on to my children and to loan the most important items for permanent display in suitable museums around the country. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Does it make sense for the U.S. to expend hundreds of billions of dollars to mount a new Apollo-style program to return to the moon? Or have we blazed that trail? Shouldn’t we help other nations achieve this goal with their own resources but with our help? (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
The decision to go to the moon is now appreciated and associated with President Kennedy’s speech, but somebody else had told him it was a good idea. It turned out to be a good commitment, but it was a unique situation. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
My sister called me Buzzard when I was a baby - she couldn’t say Brother so I’ve been Buzz my whole life. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
Being first outside the spacecraft would bring much more responsibility, and I really wasn’t looking for that. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
Can you imagine, in 2030, taking a space cruise on the very ship that carried the first human beings to Mars? I can’t believe that people wouldn’t line up for that possibility. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
Exploration is wired into our brains. If we can see the horizon, we want to know what’s beyond. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
As we reflect back upon the tragic loss of Challenger and her brave crew of heroes who were aboard that fateful day, I am reminded that they truly represented the best of us, as they climbed aloft on a plume of propellant gasses, reaching for the stars, to inspire us who were Earthbound. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
Growing up, I was fascinated with Buck Rogers’ airplanes. As I began to mature in World War II, it became jets and rocket planes. But it was always in the air. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
America’s can-do spirit cast a warm glow across nations and cultures, generating more goodwill and support for our country’s ideals and causes than had otherwise been possible. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
I’m in favor of changing the destination of humans. There are a lot of manned missions that can be done, but not in the direction of the moon. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
There are many people talking about access to space and, ‘How can we make that cheaper? How can we turn that into a Southwest Airlines versus the big airlines?’ (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
To appropriately respond to an emergency requires a very clear mind, to cooly analyze what the observations are and how to fix it. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
Trips to Mars, the Moon, even orbit, will require that we provide astrotourists with as many comforts from home as possible, including paying each other. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
Us reaching the moon convinced Gorbachev and other leaders that the Soviet Union couldn’t compete with the U.S., so they revised their agenda. But people have short memories. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
It’s been one of the greatest challenges that ever came along in my life; it was one of the more difficult things to do. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
What are you going to do with astronauts who first reach the surface of Mars and then turn around and rocket back home-ward? What are they going to do, write their memoirs? Would they go again? Having them repeat the voyage, in my view, is dim-witted. Why don’t they stay there on Mars? (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
Don’t waste your time on beaming people up or down. Instead, consider gravity waves as advanced physics of the universe that could be used to travel interstellar distances. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
My father’s an early aviator, and my first flight was with him at age two. Now, despite the fact that I got sick on the flight, I still enjoyed it, I believe. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
What’s aero braking? That’s a way to use the gravity and upper atmosphere of Earth to sling shot a ship out either deeper into space, or slow it down to be ‘captured’ by Earth’s gravity. (Buzz Aldrin Quotes)
