“Is he the one that punched out a guy who said he was a fraud and he never went to the moon??

I don’t know about that but a relative saw him at MIT a couple of years ago and she said he was rude and arrogant.

Saw him there in 10-250 and he was kind
and thoughtful.
“I don’t know about that but a relative saw him at MIT a couple of years ago and she said he was rude and arrogant.”
That’s what “she” said.
Yes, that was him, and the guy was being an ass, the video shows the guy deserved fully to be punched out.
I would hesitate to classify him as rude and arrogant, here’s why: I had the opportunity to meet Chuck Yeager once, and I found him to be rude and arrogant. I said as much on this very forum.
But I have come to regret it, because even though there is no excuse for it, I did not take into account what his life in a fishbowl is like, and...I should have given him that. I do now, but wish I had never said it.
We haven’t walked in his shoes, and we weren’t there to see what took place.
Buzz definitely has an ego problem. Even back in his days at NASA, he showed that. Instead of being happy to be on the prime crew of Apollo 11, he was furious that he wasn’t the mission commander and was furious that he wouldn’t be first to walk on the moon. Instead of being happy for all the good things that he got to do, he was always all pissy for what he wasn’t getting. He’s been a jerk for a long time.
