One of the bigger personalities in the Space Race has to be Buzz Aldrin, the second man (after Neil Armstrong) to step on the Moon. The man keeps making news even into his 90’s, and seemingly for all good reasons.<\/p>\n

The former US astronaut Buzz Aldrin has got married for the fourth time on his 93rd birthday. (January 20 – Ed.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The former pilot said that he and new wife Anca Faur were as “excited as eloping teenagers”.<\/p>\n

Dr. Faur, 63, who has a PhD in chemical engineering, is the executive vice president of Mr. Aldrin’s company, Buzz Aldrin VenturesBBC.<\/p>\n

Ya gotta admit, at 93 and 63 respectively, they both look damn good for their ages. And doctorates in chemical engineering don’t just fall into your lap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But I guess good things just keep happening to good people:<\/p>\n

Retired astronaut and U.S. Air Force Col. Buzz Aldrin soared to another height in his long career after being appointed an Honorary Brigadier General of the Space Systems Command at the Los Angeles Air Force Base.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Worth noting, he is a West Point grad (1951) who wanted to fly. \u00a0 Not sure how many folks can brag about getting a star in their third branch of the military, but there can’t be too many. Loved what he said in his acceptance speech:
\n“I intend to impatiently pester Elon Musk a lot harder, so that he and I will be waiting, there on the Moon, to greet the NASA astronauts when they land.”<\/p>\n

He also reiterated that he had actually been to the Moon, a dig at all the folks who say the Moon Landing was staged (ignoring that there have also been multiple landings since the first one. ) Aldrin famously belted a landing-denier a few years back, proving there’s bite as well as bark there.<\/p>\n
