My dad was the same age or generation as Buzz. Dad was never much familiar with the internet at all, but one day I asked him “Hey, would you like to see Buzz Aldrin punch out a Moon landing conspiracy nutbar?” Sure!
I got it loaded up on the screen and he started to watch it unfold, I could see an irrepressible grin start to buildup. My dad was pretty straight laced, college educated, but for some reason he knew entirely too much about pool, poker, booze, and other dangerous pursuits. “That’s a pretty good right hook!” something like that. It was one of those memorable moments, and for so many things, we have Buzz to thank for that, at least.
What was great the locals refused to prosecute, they couldn’t find anybody who GAF.
If you are interested in “the other side of the story” the book is a real page turner even if you don’t like the author:
