Buzz is a great hero who endured much while he pioneered much (rendezvous and docking for example).

He is a hero who deserves respect. He was a combat pilot in Korea, a test pilot and an astronaut on Gemini and Apollo.

The fact that he battle many skeletons in his closet while at the same time advocating space travel should put him in the forefront of the world’s pioneers.

It is sad to see a man who walked on the moon have to actually defend that act in the public forum by conspiracy nuts and UFO chasers...

True that! All those early astronauts were heroes to me as a kid. They were all doing dramatic remarkable stuff, heroic stuff, back in the 60’s when it seemed the country’s future was in the stars. It was a great time to be alive to witness history being made.
