Who Is Buzz Aldrin?

Buzz Aldrin is an iconic figure in space exploration history, internationally recognized as the second man to walk on the Moon and the first to successfully complete a spacewalk. As a member of the historic Apollo 11 mission alongside Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins, Aldrin played a key role in humanity’s first steps on the lunar surface in 1969, achieving an unforgettable milestone in science and contributing to the United States’ victory in the space race. His name has since become synonymous with exploration and scientific progress, inspiring generations to follow in the footsteps of those early space pioneers.

He graduated with honors from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1951 and then served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War, where he received decorations for his combat missions. He later earned a doctorate in science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), specializing in orbital mechanics. In 1966, as a NASA astronaut, he participated in the Gemini XII mission, completing a groundbreaking spacewalk as part of the Gemini Program. Following the Apollo 11 mission, Aldrin continued his career in the U.S. Air Force as the commander of the Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base. Later, he founded the ShareSpace Foundation, dedicated to promoting interest in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) among future generations.
