Reply to comment by impy695 in NASA's Artemis moon program receives salute from Apollo 11's Buzz Aldrin (video) by kevindavis338

What, do you think they dragged him from a retirement house at gunpoint? He has been known for advocating visiting the moon and further for quite some time. He probably really wanted to be there.

I bet you if Neil and Mike are still alive they would be there as well.

Neil Armstrong HATED thr public obsession. He knew what he signed up for though and he did his job. But he hated the spotlight

Actually, if it meant that we are going back to the moon, Neil would be out in public with Buzz.

Well, he's dead, so I doubt that, but if he were alive, he would have reluctantly done so, yes. Idk, this still feels so wrong though with the health issues buzz is dealing with

No, but he is suffering from a lot of health issues that make amy public comment unreliable. I'll take tons of downvotes, but the only response someone who knows him can make without lying, is he got something right by accident"
