Buzz Aldrin said a former astronaut charged with attempted kidnapping should be ``admired'' -- but not excused -- for her resolve in allegedly confronting a romantic rival, according to a published report.

They lead ordinary lives and have varied personalities,'' Aldrin said in comments published on Time magazine's Web site.
