Jeez, people, read the story...Aldrin himself hasn’t said a word.
A BOLIVIAN journalist says he said it. I know when I want to share Earth shattering news, I head to Bolivia.
Let’s examine this logically. Buzz wanted to tell someone, but he knew he shouldn’t.
Should he a: tell the “mainstream” media and get a reward commiserate with the risk...
or should he b: tell some unknown jackass in a third world country, thus risking everything for well...nothing.
I think it is safe to say Buzz Aldrin never said these words to this journalist, else he would have said it to someone a little more prominent, or kept his mouth shut entirely.
This was one small step for a man, but a large leap for Shirley McLain.
WRONG.
Much safer to tell a 3rd world journalist who’d not likely be believed.
Word gets out . . . he’s still relatively safe with the powers that be.
