Always admired his bravery but him being so open in a time when it wasn’t as normal. He has gone up even more in my estimations. My opinion here doesn’t matter much but I’m sure he feels good about himself which is really what matters. To provide that insight at that time means he must have learned a lot I think. Legend

Understand where he is coming from. I have similarities with Buzz...although I had a troubled home life as a kid, which I've come to realize is where the lion's share of my future troubles came from. I was a career AF officer, nuclear ICBM crewmember ("Perfection is the standard"), then later a space operations crewmember (no mottos about perfection, but when the vehicles you are flying are each multi-billion dollar assets...the pressure to know the system cold and not screw up remains very strong), worked in the aerospace industry as a consultant, and got to a point where the pressure simply became too much for me to bear (thanks to an unexpected external set of events). That was in September 2018. I immediately entered therapy and dedicated myself to learning and healing (best thing that ever happened to me), and have kept at it. And I have had my battles self-medicating with alcohol. So it resonates with me. I can certainly empathize with what Buzz must have had to go through-- especially back in the 70s.

Buzz Aldrin is a very rare beast indeed: gung ho and brilliant (in no particular order). If we could reverse or even reset the aging process for just one person in the entire world, I'd try to make an argument for Dr Aldrin every time. I mean, someone has to take us to Mars. That is, someone brave enough to do it, and smart enough not to screw it up!

Buzz seems very honest about his trouble with all the attention after the Moon Landing. As he says, the crew were just the men who landed on the Moon because that was where the Apollo program was at that time. Some perfectly capable astronauts between others - it was just their turn. And Aldrin is/ was a serious, hardworking dedicated engineer and test pilot. Not hard to imagine how all the focus gave him trouble. He wasn’t a pop star seeking attention...

I agree potential financial gain has impacted the idea and influence and understanding of depression - and not for the best. But it certainly does exist. People may differ on the name, method of dealing with it etc...but it's very real. Of course it's not simply black and white - there is a huge variation in it's severity. Sadly, there are now so many people just having a bad day or week, and adopting the term/excuse, that it devalues and drowns out the folk who are genuinely dealing and living with it.

I know they were all hardcore test pilots with athletic fitness, but quite a few of the Apollo astronauts did comment on how violent the shaking was during a Saturn V launch. The Apollo 8 crew got quite a shock because they hadn’t been warned. It was one of the few issues not predicted by the designers.

I don't think there were two launches of a Saturn 5 that were identical. Some Apollo astronauts say that the noise at launch was unbelievably loud. Others say the noise wasn't so bad but the vibrations were. A lot were concerned about the outboard engines rocking the stack around so close to the launch tower. Some flights suffered from bad pogo oscillations, others didn't. In Al Worden's book, Falling To Earth, he mentions how some Apollo astronauts were uneasy crossing the access arm to the white room and Command Module because it was so unnatural to be so high up with just a metal grate underneath them. He said that some of their gloved hands gripped the railing like a vice...

So appreciate what these guys did. My brother and I religiously watched every launch from mercury to Apollo. We were kids completely enamored. My Brother Became a physiologist and as it turns out studied under the guy who originally tested those mercury astronauts. He got his PhD from University of Illinois Champaign Urbana. He ended up working at NASA and does it experimentation in major work with the physiology of astronauts on the space shuttle program. There was a mixup and then he ended up at the CDC but those were great years for him. I would’ve loved to have done something like that but as it turned out I had dyscalculia which Was not diagnosable back in the day. so I thought I was too stupid but as it turns out I had a really high IQ ha ha ha ha. I just couldn’t do numbers without turning them all around. I really like how he saw his fellow astronauts as very equal to him and that being the first man on the moon was just a matter of timing. I think I also had an idea back then the thieves were super pilots who were looking at this as just another figure faster affair for them to take on. I really love that. They were my heroes back then as a kid and still are😊 And I’m about to turn 70.

@@zounds010 True, I checked but it is difficult to realize that without a gauge (the Earth covers 2 degrees in the sky, much bigger than the moon on Earth, that too is difficult to realize). What he said is that it was difficult to be sure they were straight up, that is they were not sure what was vertical. This is because with only 1/6 Earth gravity, our natural gauge is not balanced. That again you can only realize by directly experimenting it. This is really somebody that went to another world.

Buzz.. courage, talent, focus. These test pilots/astronauts loved adventures and not caring for risks, only the mission.

I can see how landing on the moon and coming back then facing large groups would make Buzz unsettled. I wouldn't have wanted to be paraded around as a hero either. I also have perfection disorder and realized that I have to settle for the best I can do. Some people call me MacGyver and say I can fix anything. I tell them, like Samuel Clemens did about his reported death, that the rumors of my abilities are greatly exaggerated. I heard that one gentleman from India thought I was genius that I could do a project with out drawings. No just experienced. Buzz was just doing his job.

"Nothing special" 1:34 One guy who kept getting out of scrapes just before the became mortal and the other guy who could dock and get home by lining up behind his thumb is a special crew. And the guy waiting for them back in the ride home was an all time great second seat.

Thanks for this..Gemin 12 toured NZ in the early 70's and Buzz Aldrin visited was a crew member on that flight and I was just a kid and Buzz Aldrin visited NZ in 2010 and spoke about his experience ON the Moon and in space and I was in awe!👍🚀🇳🇿

Standing on the moon, looking around and really thinking about where you are could be overpowering for some people. The first few minutes you might close your eyes and tell yourself "relax, one step at a time". Nevermind the thousand different ways to die.

For Buzz I think luck played a big roll. Very intelligent man and competent astronaut but had it not been for the deaths if the original Gemini 9 crew he wouldn't have been on Gemini 12. His first flight most likely would have been on one of the later Apollo flights and possibly as a Command Module pilot. It was his rendezvous and docking experience from Gemini 12 that landed him Apollo 11...

Talking to conspiracy nuts and showing them evidence doesn't work. Deniers always gotta deny, no matter what the verifiable facts say. They're on an ego trip and they won't let little things like facts stop them. Moon landing deniers have got a lot of their ego invested in perpetuating their stories.
