BTW... why has anyone not mentioned the fact that Aldrin took ill on an expedition to the gods damned SOUTH POLE!!! not only that, but he made it before complaining. Seems they flew him out in a Herc on skis. The man is fucking awesome.
When Buzz dies he wants his ashes to be scattered on the secret movie set in Nevada where the fake moon landings were filmed - google it!
And people regularly walk a mile or more to the store in all types of weather... don't you? Oh wait, you're so vastly superior to others that you still can't fathom why you are so despised.
Actually no, they don't. There's a whole host of logistical reasons why that is, as @Lanzman can explain better than I could (since he's actually been there), but it's not as simple as oozing a flight to frigging Vegas and the cold temps are still in the negative range even in summer. For now, anyway.
I like the take Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman took about Satan in Good Omens - he knows damn well he can't win, but he's locked into trying anyway since that's God's Plan. Where it gets sketchy is that the Antichrist (due to a mixup with the babies) grows up as a perfectly normal human kid (well, except for his powers) and thus has the capacity for free will that demons and angels lack, so he's able to go AGAINST the Plan (or perhaps not, the protagonists hedge on whether God might have actually wanted that result) and prevent the Apocalypse from happening.
see, if you read the article, you'd know that a) it was the actual pole and b) the environmental strains the altitude/atmosphere cause-especially for an 86 year old. maybe next time before acting like a condescending twat you might try gaining some cursory knowledge of the topic?
Ahhh but that is what will make you successful. You come out of no where. A common man rising to the top to lead the world into "peace" while planning your reign of evil. Then Jesus shows up and.................
Pic Buzz posted of himself on Facebook today. Having had pneumonia, and being roughly half Buzz's age when I had it, I can say that it's no picnic. If he's feeling that well, that's a pretty good sign, I think.
Yup. Had it about four years ago. Couldn't get out of bed or sit upright. I'd dispute if he actually even has it tbh.
Was he the one that punched that conspiracy theorist over claiming he was lying about landing on the moon, or was that one of the others? Because I still love that that happened.
No, I was responding to the picture of him in the hospital bed and how badass it made him look that he's doing so well.
weird don't all penises already have a hole? And what a hole, it's dual function meaning it was designed by the romans!
Gosh, much as I hate to return to the topic of this thread, it sounds like Buzz is not on his way out. Poor old Buzz is not the most ego-free individual apparently. In his fine book "Carrying the fire", Michael Collins wrote that he felt Buzz was more angry about not being the first man to step on the Moon than he was grateful for being the second. (The mission protocol actually called for the second-in-command -- Buzz -- to climb out first. But Armstrong pulled rank.) Buzz was in a mental hospital within months of his return to Earth, it seems.
