1980: BUZZ ALDRIN - After the MOON LANDING | Change of Direction | Classic Interviews | BBC Archive 

It is normal that this miserable liar suffered from depression, anxiety and paranoia... You cannot deceive humanity and not have a guilty conscience.

Yeah seems such a shame that he’s now selling his autograph for a few dollars a pop…he’s done more book signings than NASA’s had missions to space!

@@dannyboy621 saying something like that shows what a peasant you are mate

@@jesus4400 Calling Aldrin a liar is pretty dumb, as his claims are backed up by tons of evidence. The moon landing deniers, on the other hand, have been exposed as liars over and over again. They are the deceivers here.

Amen to that.

They had a 32kb computer and 500 Giga byte brains.......😊

Exactly😂

Yeah and now with all the advancements in technology we can’t get there? That’s because we never did go there!

30. 30 kb even. 😂

​@KimSenior the Russians begrudgingly acknowledged NASA's achievement of going to the moon and congratulated them as they knew it had happened due to lunar based radio transmissions they intercepted. Go back to bed you absolute numpty, find a conspiracy theory with a shred of credibility

Understand where he is coming from. I have similarities with Buzz...although I had a troubled home life as a kid, which I've come to realize is where the lion's share of my future troubles came from. I was a career AF officer, nuclear ICBM crewmember ("Perfection is the standard"), then later a space operations crewmember (no mottos about perfection, but when the vehicles you are flying are each multi-billion dollar assets...the pressure to know the system cold and not screw up remains very strong), worked in the aerospace industry as a consultant, and got to a point where the pressure simply became too much for me to bear (thanks to an unexpected external set of events). That was in September 2018. I immediately entered therapy and dedicated myself to learning and healing (best thing that ever happened to me), and have kept at it. And I have had my battles self-medicating with alcohol. So it resonates with me. I can certainly empathize with what Buzz must have had to go through-- especially back in the 70s.

Buzz Aldrin is a very rare beast indeed: gung ho and brilliant (in no particular order). If we could reverse or even reset the aging process for just one person in the entire world, I'd try to make an argument for Dr Aldrin every time. I mean, someone has to take us to Mars. That is, someone brave enough to do it, and smart enough not to screw it up!

Correction. NO ONE "has" to take us to Mars @@Ingens_Scherz

@@scootertooter6874If this isn’t all smoke, that’s a hell of a career. Well done sir, well done.

Same here, check David Icke's book Human Race Get off your knees the Lion Sleeps no more, that I have translated in albanian...

he had an appearance in the comedy show 30rock, making fun of himself, yelling at the moon with liz lemon

@@tonyclifton265 awesome. tnks for the tip

He has some experience about mental health. This dude think he walked on the moon, so its nice of him to talk about the subject. 😂

@@Mega_Trond every aerospace engineer on Earth agrees with Buzz and says you're the crazy one

@@gives_bad_advice Do you really think, the cardboard lunar module landed on the moon? We dont know have to make a space-suit these days. Ops, sad that they throw away the Blueprint for the space-suit. we really need your grandmother's needle and sawing machine, to make some good suits.

Accessing the memorized script. Also looks down and away (mute) when LK mentions the dreaded trigger word. Land/landed/Landing.

@@MrMjolnir69 Oh my God!!! He looked down!!! AND away!!! I knew that meant something! I just didn't know what. Thank you for explaining. Without you, I would have thought it all just a dream.

“intellectually the earth appears 4 times bigger than the moon does to us” ?!?! script indeed!

It can be both. Here to help.

Psychiatry pushed by bigfarma, no such thing as depression, it's people who flourish in this rotten world who need to have their heads examined.Loneliness is no 1 malady.

Hey nice to hear and honest comment on the Tube - someone who can admit they perhaps had the wrong idea on something, and who is open minded enough in the first place to accept that possibility. It's an increasingly rare trait these days. Fair play to ya 👍

I agree potential financial gain has impacted the idea and influence and understanding of depression - and not for the best. But it certainly does exist. People may differ on the name, method of dealing with it etc...but it's very real. Of course it's not simply black and white - there is a huge variation in it's severity. Sadly, there are now so many people just having a bad day or week, and adopting the term/excuse, that it devalues and drowns out the folk who are genuinely dealing and living with it.

@@godsoneus Thank you

Yes I read that book it's a good read

In his book does he talk about the mission to the moon. Thanks

@@rockystelone21 , in _Return to Earth,_ yes, Buzz Aldrin talks about the flight of Apollo XI; but most of the book is taken up with the time _after_ Apollo XI, starting with the quarantine at NASA and then the worldwide tour. A lot of it is about the next few years, including other jobs he took on, alcoholism, trouble in his marriage, and his depression and the treatment for it. All this is just in a few years, the period from July 1969 to whenever the book was finished for publication in 1973.

@@rockystelone21 , PS. It's been some years since I've read it; but my recollection of the basis of a lot of the problems he had after Apollo XI is that it boiled down to "I have _been to the moon._ How am I ever gonna top _that?_ Nothing I do next can compare."

@@smadaf good point! Thanks

he had script to learn

​@@MrDaiseymayFilms in Hollywood use scripts.

@@toastedterps They also have a Hollywood studio at NASA.

@@MrDaiseymayAnd you need a new one. Grow up already.

@@toastedterps Moon landings filmed ON LOCATION.

Legend and very interesting.

Was it filmed or taped?

Dr Rendezvous 🙂

😂😅😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

His deadpan comment abut talking with the President cracks me up.

Yeah--his father put a ton of pressure on him and made him feel bad for not being the first man on the moon. His mother also suffered depression and actually killed herself if memory serves.

Nadie fue a la Luna. Despierta!!!!!!!

I don't think there were two launches of a Saturn 5 that were identical. Some Apollo astronauts say that the noise at launch was unbelievably loud. Others say the noise wasn't so bad but the vibrations were. A lot were concerned about the outboard engines rocking the stack around so close to the launch tower. Some flights suffered from bad pogo oscillations, others didn't. In Al Worden's book, Falling To Earth, he mentions how some Apollo astronauts were uneasy crossing the access arm to the white room and Command Module because it was so unnatural to be so high up with just a metal grate underneath them. He said that some of their gloved hands gripped the railing like a vice...

8 was the first to moon, hell of feat that goes uncared for.

What are you, 7 years old? You don;t think the first Moon landing deserved recognition, or are to too stupid to understand a radio link?

Don't kill Buzz, please! 🙂

😂

Any rings big and skull-like?

He punched Bart Sebrel when Bart proved him a liar.

Pls explains how that was proved?

@@JamesSmith-qs4hx How did he prove him a liar pray tell?

@@gunternetzer9621 Watch - A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon...... 🤔🤔🤔

@@jacqo817 Watch - Astronauts gone Wild...... 🤔🤔🤔

How so?

@@JamesKonzek-xr5zy Much more stoic and reserved. Nowadays he's more eccentric and outspoken

Why are you calling him a myth and a legend? He is real, not fake.

He's talking about the landing.

@@neilarmstrongsson795 ahahahaha

... the Liar 😱

Idiot 😂

Engineer, test pilot, fighter pilot, astronaut, moonwalker, writer, dancer.

The biggest one tried. He got cracked in the teeth 😂

@@justinholmes5614 Exactly. 😉 But then I wouldn't wish the hassle on Buzz. Let him live in peace. He deserves it.

Talking to conspiracy nuts and showing them evidence doesn't work. Deniers always gotta deny, no matter what the verifiable facts say. They're on an ego trip and they won't let little things like facts stop them. Moon landing deniers have got a lot of their ego invested in perpetuating their stories.

You could if there were photos, movies or videos of him with the Earth in the same shot, like the one's of him on the Gemini missions.

You can?

I’ll admit he seems very credible. Especially when compared to Neil Armstrong. But he did honestly describe the situation with the subsequent circus as “having to tell people what they wanted to hear”. If he’d really been, I don’t think that would have been a concern, he’d have just rattled off the truth and not cared about how it was perceived. Also, feelings of inadequacy?? When you’ve personally achieved the greatest feat mankind has ever achieved? Or could it have been because he’s under orders to repeat a huge lie over and over?

⁠@@5piral0utI’ll tell you one thing. I would NOT have wanted to be dragged around for weeks and put on stage to answer the same questions over and over and over..you have very little insight into how people’s minds worked. No man who worked in his profession would think of being forced to tell lies. He’d be more likely to say, look guys, things didn’t work out. Let’s see what happens with the next mission. Those guys spout factual information naturally. It’s how they’re trained.

@@shaunrobertson1064 which is why I’d argue he had his breakdown. And Neil became a recluse.

There was no such transmission. You have been lied to.

There is gravity on the moon. It was the lack of air resistance because of no atmosphere that made the dust move differently than it would on earth.

.17 G on moon. 200 pound man on earth is like 34 pounds on moon.

It was in a hurry to fall back, like on earth, some say lack of support, still the stuff clouds the Moon and Space...

"no gravity"...Perhaps your assumption is incorrect.

@@bobh6728😂😂😂😂

did your mother tell you the truth that you were accidentally created in a back street porn movie that she starred in...

I think the UK didn't have the funds at that time to look into the space program.

@@rockystelone21 or hollywood

@@401xyz bet you believe the earth is flat and their are giants living behind a wall in antarctic

They didn't just consider it, they started one. The Black Arrow rocket launched Britain's first satellite (Prospero) in 1971. Black Arrow was a side effect of Britain's work on ICBMs in the 1960s. Black Arrow was cancelled after one successful flight: Britain was in a financial crisis and had a shortsighted government that didn't want to take risks by investing in a space program. After that, British companies became successful building satellites.

One small step….

@@stuartsiglain3972 ... for a man, one giant leap of faith for anyone who believes it.

@@rippenburn Literally tons of evidence, so no faith is needed to believe the moon landings happened, the proof is all clearly there to find for someone with an open mind and not some weird conspiracy agenda to push.

​@rozzgrey8015 is actually the complete opposite. Too much time has elapsed, and nobody has been "back".

@@gardencornrobber What point, if any, are you trying to make? If you claim the moon landings must be fake because no-one has returned yet, then you will only have to move those goalposts when someone does within the next 4 years on Artemis. Then you will have to make up all the 'reasons' you can think up or get from other deniers as to why the new landings must be fake. Gonna be a lot of hard work, and it'll all be for nothing.
