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.

We haven’t walked in ANYONE”s shoes,but that still does not excuse rudeness.

Aldrin was not dragged kicking and screaming to MIT,he chose to go. He could have stayed home.
