As someone who suffers from several mental disorders, i love how vulnerable Buzz Aldrin is as he speaks about this. Extremely classy, intelligent, and graceful! We love you Buzz!

Buzz Aldrin wrote a worthy book about the experiences that he describes in this interview: Return to Earth (1973).
-
Buzz and all others associated with Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and all other NASA projects, were and still are amazing people.

"Magnificent desolation." Words spoken from the moon, by Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin, July 1969.

Buzz.. courage, talent, focus. These test pilots/astronauts loved adventures and not caring for risks, only the mission.
-
Such great and honest messages. Thanks, Buzz.

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.

What an amazing man!

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...

Amazing interview! Learned the hard way about imposter syndrome and depression similar myself. Thank you Buzz for reminding us that we are all just human! And deeply sorry for the unnecessary spotlight on you and wife.
