THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH
Buzz Aldrin was part of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 when man first walked on the
moon. Neil Armstrong went first, followed by Buzz. Nothing in all his training had
prepared him for that moment, and he has been travelling the world ever since, reliving
the experience. He was born in New Jersey in 1930, and he graduated from West Point
Military Academy. He served as a pilot in Korea and West Germany, and in 1966 he was
chosen as an astronaut.
Apollo 11 was launched to the moon on July 16. Four days later they landed near the
Sea of Tranquility. The mission ended on July 24, with a splashdown in the Pacific
Ocean.
On coming back to earth, he became very depressed, and suffered from alcoholism. He
had married for the first time when he was young, and had three children. His second

marriage lasted a very short time.
Fortunately, he seems to have found happiness and stability with his third wife, Loris
Driggs Cannon, who saved him from self-destruction. They now live with their three
dogs in California, and have six cars “for fun”.
He has written his autobiography and a science fiction book, called Encounter with Tiber,
which was published in 1996.
He now travels the world, giving lecture tours and raising funds for space exploration.
