The Moon Landing, 33 Years Later


This happened in 2002, but I only saw it for the first time a few days ago amidst the hubbub over the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11.

Buzz Aldrin may be a lot of things (astronaut, recovering alcoholic, possible UFO spotter), but this shows that American hero is still one of them. And goddammit, I hate conspiracy theorists.

Wow, never saw that before and I love it. I heard him on NPR the other day and I was kind of amazed about forthright and honest he was about his alcoholism and his recovery.

I don't know. If I was one of a handful of humans to walk on the moon and exist in outer space and then had to spend the rest of my life as an ordinary person on Earth, I'd probably take to the bottle too. The fact that he's honest and open about it is really admirable.
