Famed U.S. astronaut Buzz Aldrin appeared to endorse Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., in her race against retired astronaut Mark Kelly, a Democrat.
"Martha, check six - Mark? Buzz - over 100 jet hours in Arizona," the 90-year-old wrote on Twitter on Saturday. "12 o’clock is straight ahead. 6 o’clock is behind. Fighter pilots understand what 'check six' means in FTR lingo talk. Martha, wave as you move ahead past Mark, to 12 o’clock, and you win for Arizona!"

Great.
Nope!!! His brother is well liked though. Also should mention something you probably already know... Buzz isn’t liked either. But hey, he does tell it like it is.
Mark Kelly is Hitler.
He’s also a self serving, opportunistic hypocrite.
He is more of a go along to get along type. He wants to be senator so is doing what he thinks works. He doesn’t have a solid moral foundation. He could easily support conservative views if it benefited him.
Buzz ain’t running for the Senate.
Go along with whom?
This is the most expensive, most contentious, most strained senatorial campaign in Arizona history. An idea came to mind... why not have the two fighter pilots dogfight, winner takes all! Real fighter planes are costly, so... have them fight it out in War Thunder or DCS, or XPlane, except Kelly has to fly a Chinese jet. Would be fun for a change.
They’d better not give Buzz any crap over this either.

Buzz Aldrin is an American former astronaut, engineer and fighter pilot. Aldrin made three spacewalks as pilot of the 1966 Gemini 12 mission, and as the lunar module pilot on the 1969 Apollo 11 mission, he and mission commander Neil Armstrong were the first two humans to land on the Moon
Born in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, Aldrin graduated third in the class of 1951 from the United States Military Academy at West Point, with a degree in mechanical engineering. He was commissioned into the United States Air Force, and served as a jet fighter pilot during the Korean War. He flew 66 combat missions and shot down two MiG-15 aircraft..
Way to go Buzz!
He’ll go along with anything that gets him what he wants. Basically the same thing you said.
Right. I love Buzz and respect the hell out of him. Others don’t care for people who speak cold hard truth. He’s a blunt guy and many can’t handle that.
lol. I’ve met him. My father was Apollo and then Shuttle. I was shuttle.
Yes. Hey Mark Kelly. This is what is called a real “BUZZ CUT”.
I’ve met a lot of astronauts with only one being a little weird but honest. You are the worst of them re being a human being. We told you to wear your helmet while in space, but NOOOOO...!
Wish Buzz was running....LOL. If he endorses Sally it is good enough for me.
I suspect that the legacy Astronauts, and Kings point grads, and true Naval Aviators would not invite Mister Kelly over for a barbecue.
They deservedly have their pride of service and maintain their respect for our fine Country and magnificent traditions, all which exclude the likes of America-hating, Second Amendment-hating and corrupt and dirty dealing Mister Kelly.
Wow, we would absolutely love more info if possible.
Same here, and my grandfather was Apollo.
Our Kevin Bacon number is 2.

LOL! It could be ONE if you were at JSC. Grew up in the Clear Lake area from the early 70’s until late 90’s. Dad worked for Ford Aerospace on the Hubbell before contracts changed then moved into the MCC. I was with the OBS contract under several companies.
