NOMINATE BUZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This article has been added to the Astronomy Link List.
He has already done quite a bit for space explorations, even if you don’t count Apollo 11. In 1959, he wrote a doctoral thesis at MIt on orbital mechanics and maneuvering which became the basis for how everyone in space does rendezvous and docking procedures. During the Gemini program, he developed the techniques for working during EVA that are still used today on the ISS, as well as the familiar underwater training for EVA. In effect, he is as responsible for the construction of the ISS as anyone presently working for NASA,ESA or the RSA.
There is no telling what he will be able to accomplish if he becomes NASA Administrator.
hey james…may i use your comment as a quote?

I like the idea. However. Has anyone talked with Buzz Aldrin about this? What does he think of the idea?
