This month marked the 40th anniversary of the first man landing on the moon. When every one thinks of the moment astronauts first landed on the moon they think of Neil Armstrong and his historical quote, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The one thing people don’t know was what the hell Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins were doing.

National Geographic has been releasing stuff like crazy to honor the mission that gave everyone the confidence to conquer any goal that they may have. As the 40th anniversary has come, they take us back to not look at the moon landing or even Neil Armstrong but the second man on the moon, Buzz Aldrin.

Buzz Aldrin stepped on the moon 15 minutes after Neil Armstrong. The one memorable experience Buzz seemed to account for on that famous day was his fumbling up the Eagle Lander to reboard. He supposedly could be know as the first man to go to the bathroom is what National Geographic has suggested. To me, that is just as great as an accomplishment as actually landing on that rock we see every night.

When asked about landing on the moon so many times, Buzz Aldrin sounded exactly the way you should and that is real. He said “I guess after 40 years I still don’t know what they’re looking for or what they want to hear.”
