Buzz Aldrin is in our local hospital in Christchurch right now, we all wish him a speedy recovery:-

I remember walking home from school right after we listened to the radio the teacher had fired up in the classroom. We'd listened to a broadcast of the first men on the moon and on that walk home I looked up into the sky, the moon was visible during daylight at that time and I was just awe struck that two men were there on its surface. Incredible.
Now we have these man-on-the-moon conspiracy theories, they're all loons. I've seen Aldrin interviewed and found his answer to one writer amusing. This writer made a living out of peddling conspiracy bullshit and called Aldrin up. When accused of lying about walking on the moon, Aldrin simply replied, he'd been there and walked around on it, so there.
Then Aldrin has been accosted at places like conventions. On Youtube you can find the moment he punches an accuser, it's wonderful, people like that need to be punched, good on you Buzz Aldrin, they're too stupid for words, just ;punch them right on the mouth.
