The Name 'Buzz Aldrin' Should Never be Spoken Again!
In my humble estimation. His ceaseless energy, involvement of obvious love of life, even more than his past accomplishments, has elevated his status to that of a living legend, where a single name ....Buzz of course is enough. No matter how many people have the name, there is still only one Columbus, only one Bono, one Magellan and now only one...Buzz. Sincerely Jonathan s |

After graduating from Montclair High School in 1946, Aldrin turned down a full scholarship offer from The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and instead went to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Aldrin graduated third in his class at West Point in 1951 with a B.S. in mechanical engineering. He was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force and served as a jet fighter pilot during the Korean War. He flew 66 combat missions in F-86 Sabres and shot down two Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 aircraft. Aldrin was selected as part of the third group of NASA astronauts in October 1963. He was confirmed as pilot on Gemini 12, the last Gemini mission and the last chance to prove methods for EVA. Aldrin set a record for extra- vehicular activity and proved that astronauts could work outside spacecraft. On July 20, 1969, he was the second astronaut to walk on the moon ... ..... pant, pant, pant ... running out of breath. The man is/was amazing. I just don't know if I would want to sit down and drink a beer with him though. There is a photo of the Apollo 11 crew apparently at a back yard BBQ in Houston before the historic flight that I really like. Buzz is using his hands in the photo telling of some aviation exploits. Mike is laughing ... but Neil kinda has a smirk on his face and he's looking at Buzz as if saying : " Oh Jeez ... there he goes again ". Love ya Buzz. I really do. Chris |

"Buzz...if that really IS your name..." (Homer Simpson). They even named a fictictious cola after him...and also apparently the state of light inebreation when one has had a few cold ones! (Magnificent carbonation....) Seriously, Buzz is a great American hero, and I respect the hell out of his punching that Moon landing denier! "Jonathan" wrote in message ... In my humble estimation.
