But that right cross would have killed me.

it's tight one

So no.. his past accomplishments won't help stop the death spiral this country is in if he supports Trump

And, he wasn't a wingnut who supported traitors.

Age and achievements do not cancel out bigotry and being a wingnut who supports traitors.

Granted it'll be a passage in a story about Armstrong.

Nonetheless. Children will be learning about Aldrin long after the United States is an obscure memory, along with all it's Presidents and politics.

I think we can give him pass, not that he needs it from anyone alive today.

I read he called the maggot an idiot.
So he fits in with the rest of us.

Not me.

I'm smart.

I've met Buzz and spent time talking to him. An amazing man.

And I thought Republicans were the anti-science people.

The Apollo 11 happened several decades before I was even born. And I'm not that young. Not knowing that a person who is 50-60 years older than me is still alive and kicking has nothing to do with my beliefs I'm science.

Maybe history, though. Sorry for not knowing the status of every person that I learned about in elementary school and haven't heard about in the news one time since.

Historians believe that in 10,000 years, only 2 events will be remembered from the 21st century. The holocaust and the moon landing. They also believe that only 2 men will be in general knowledge. Hitler and Armstrong.

Not even Einstein makes the list. (although I believe he should)

Imagine if we could talk to Da'vinci, Newton, Plato or Caesar right now. That would be incredibly wouldn't it? The questions we would ask. These are others from different eras that we will remember into the far far distant future. We literally had that with Armstrong and Aldrin until just a few years ago (we just lost Armstrong).

This is a guy that'll be remember long after all us, all our presidents and even our nations have crumbled to dust and long forgotten.

Literally there is no one alive today that will be remember longer than this guy.

typo.

We'll have to wait around for the 21st century folk to come forward

exploration? Or is it that you're too young? Mostly, it just seems that you're uninformed about an issue that actually gets a lot of coverage, particularly with the SpaceX program.

It actually would take some effort, I think, not to have heard anything about the current issues relating to space exploration in the past several decades. It certainly wouldn't take much effort to know that whether or not to have a program to go to Mars is one of the top issues and that Buzz Aldrin, along with Elon Musk, are the most active proponents of exploring Mars.

Buzz Aldrin .... I'll let you decide

Some people just violate better than others.

Good to know, good to adhere to. But, they don't compare with First Amendment rights.

I can't do it.

I'm going to choose to be quietly disappointed like when my best friend cheated on his wife.

It's not a flag code violation.

However, I don't even care right now. Silly argument.

Bueller? Mueller?
