July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 launches, taking astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Commander, Michael Collins, Command Module Pilot, and Buzz Aldrin, Lunar Module Pilot to the moon. Armstrong, followed by Aldrin, would set foot on the moon on July 20.

Well, the guy in the back is the one who had to stay with the ship while the other two got to go jump around on the moon. So yeah, he might be just a little bitter about it, though I doubt it. He never did go back to space, but went on to be the director of the National Air & Space Museum until 1978, then undersecretary of the Smithsonian Institution, among other ventures. He retired from the Air Force with the rank of Brigadier General.

Watching the ISS slowly assemble has been my Apollo experience.

I love it. Aldrin holds his cool until the guy calls him a liar. I would've punched him too.

This was one of the YT comments on this video. I love it, even if it is poorly written.
That fucking delirious bastard deserved. Buzz Aldrin was shot into space on a metal can by explosions and traveled through nothingness for 3 fucking days with two otehr sweaty guys, did the same thing home, fell from the top of earth into the ocean, got a speech from Richard Nixon, only to have this asshole come up to him and call him a coward.

YouTube comments can be awesome. They can be terrible, horrible things, but sometimes you find a gem like that.
