Buzz Aldrin describes the surface of the moon

What was it like to step on the moon and take a picture of your boot print? A NASA legend explains.

One of the reasons Buzz is one of my favorites is the following incident. Some years ago Buzz was being hounded by the kind of "we never landed on the moon" idiots that are commenting here. One of them was yelling at him as Buzz crossed a street. Buzz stopped and clocked the idiot with a left hook. At the time Buzz was 80 years old

Think about what comes to mind to this man when he looks up in a full moon night

Buzz is a treasure. He speaks like any 92 year old, but with a high IQ that is apparently hard for some to understand

[EdWeibe]

Buzz, you Sir you and Neil and Mike will always be my heroes.

It's a good job Buzz was an astronaut and not a story teller. I didn't really have a clue what he was talking about.

Thank you, Buzz, for being so brave that you travelled to the moon. Your footprints are still there today because, without an atmosphere, the moon has no breeze to blow those footprints away. You and the other astronauts were the ultimate explorers. And thank you, JFK, for funding that extraordinary mission.

The astronauts and cosmonauts were very special men who had the right combination of bravery and intelligence.

They all went a little off the rails after walking on the moon, how could you not? Dr. Aldrin is a brave man…..god speed sir!……

[kepler]

A moon walking pin? That's a good idea.

This is so fucking crazy...Imagine being one of the only people in humanity to step foot and the moon and you can't remember half the shit, and half the people say they did/didn't see stars in the sky...WTF If I went to the moon I would be so ecstatic making it home alive and being able to tell the story

[jamesfleming]

This is the very definition of a mean old man.Something that we should all aspire to be.

[wolfbbq]

The moons surface is like a moon landing skeptics brain, not alot going on, barren, empty and lonely.

[ronwood]

You get the truth from buzz nothing added nothing exaggerated. Great man we should treasure all he says
Very unique guy

[tomedy_official]

They should have interviewed him when he was younger

[stevejeffries]

I'm glad he's lived to tell the tales. What a brave man

[skyhookphotography]

How did he photograph the ground with a camera mounted to his chest ? Push up position one handed I suppose

[grandpajoe]

He reminds of me of johnny depp telling his story like that.

[jpike]

What did he mean at the end of this clip when he mentioned, "only those who have actually landed on the moon would wear those boots. But, no." Someone elaborate please

[explorewithme]

My school is named after buzz aldrin ❤

When he's talking about the footprints, the soft sand etc, well how come there's no disturbed dust under the lander, where the huge rocket motor would have been thrusting down wards, to slow the vehicle down? And when it landed, not a grain of sand on the 'feet', not one...
