Over Buzz Aldrin
On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landed their Lunar Module on the moon’s Sea of Tranquillity and became the first two humans to walk on the moon. This unprecedented heroic endeavour was witnessed by the largest worldwide television audience in history. He was presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honour amongst over 50 other distinguished awards and medals from the United States and numerous other countries.
Since retiring from NASA, the Air Force, and his position as Commander of the Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, Dr. Aldrin has remained at the forefront of efforts to ensure a continued leading role for America in manned space exploration. To advance his lifelong commitment to venturing outward in space, he founded his rocket design company, Starcraft Boosters, Inc., and the ShareSpace Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to opening the doors to space tourism for all people.
