A little story about Buzz Aldrin, a man who set foot in the moon

Remembering when I was watching an Indian film titled 3 idiots, rector of the university or their chief director of "Imperial College of Engineering" Dr. Viru Shastrabuddhi (correct me if I wrong) asked all the students in a public meeting. The president asked all students and said, "Who is the first to set foot on the lunar surface?", All answered with spirit (unless there is a person who does not care), "Neil Armstrong". Then the president said, and asked again, "it is true, Neil Armstrong. And everyone will remember because he was the first, what about the second person?". All the students just stunned and silent for not being able to answer who the second person to set foot on the lunar surface.

 

Full name of Edwin Eugene Aldrin, Jr.. which is a man of military educational background and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). An engineer in the field of mechanical engineering and is a pilot, is the second person who landed and set foot on the lunar surface after Neil Armstrong. History records that Edwin Aldrin or commonly known as Buzz Aldrin is one of three astronauts who first set foot on the moon. In addition to work as an astronaut, Buzz Aldrin also became a fighter pilot. This was after he got military education with the United States Air Force (USAF).

'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

 

According to Wikipedia, Buzz Aldrin (born Edwin Eugene Aldrin, Jr..; Born in the United States, January 20, 1930, age 82 years) is a mechanical engineer, retired air force pilot and astronaut United States. Aldrin was the second person to set foot on the moon after Neil Armstrong. On July 20, 1969 (July 21 GMT time), he and Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon with a small aerial vehicle, which had been sent to the Saturn V moon rocket for the Apollo 11 mission. 

 

After graduating from the United States Military Academy, he entered the United States Air Force. He, too, and the Korean War combat duty by 66 times, then he moved to western Germany. In 1963, he received a doctorate from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. in the same year he was selected as an astronaut third group by the U.S. space agency (NASA). The first flight took place in 1966dengan spacecraft Gemini 12, with James A. Lovell. On this first flight, he was in space for 5 1/2 hours. Subsequently he followed the Apollo 11 mission, along with Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins, on July 16, 1969, and four days later, he landed on the moon. after two hours of being on the lunar surface, to collect rocks, making pictures and doing some scientific experiments, they were lifted up again by the Lunar module. Apollo 11 mission ended, after they landed in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969. 

 

Buzz Aldrin retired with the rank of colonel in the military, especially in the American air force. Buzz Aldrin's name is quite well known to the world at the moment, and even because we are not so familiar with a Buzz, his nickname in the role in the animated film made ​​toys story of "Buzz". Indeed, added to the Lightyear at the end of the name, but I think the film may be indicated in the figure of a Buzz Aldrin and everyday tasks in the role of Buzz Lightyear. 

 

I think humans will reach Mars, and I would like to see it happen in my lifetime.

 

Mars is there, waiting to be reached.

There's a need for accepting responsibility - for a person's life and making choices that are not just ones for immediate short-term comfort. You need to make an investment, and the investment is in health and education.

 

After retiring from the military and NASA, Buzz gained the trust to lead the Air Force pilot school based in the United States Air Field Edward Air Force Base. Buzz was in space for 12 days 1 hours 52 minutes as a whole by conducting two missions of Apollo missions 11 and Gemini 12. By the age of Buzz is now much more activity in the field of education, especially in the fields of Astronomy, Astrophysics and astronauts. It is evident from the activities done in some communities and one of them you can see on his personal website that is buzzladrin.com. (Images form buzzaldrin.com)
