“I also recall that he was not the first man in space, he was not the first American in space, he was not even the first man to orbit the earth.”
Buzz Aldrin wasn’t the 1st man in space, 1st American in space, or even the 1st man to orbit the Earth. Should we write him off too? Yeah, his politics are bad, but are we so stinking petty that we can’t even give Glenn credit for what he did?
