Sell Your Buzz Aldrin Signed Apollo 11 Model
Buzz Aldrin was the second man to step foot on the moon during the 1969 Apollo 11 flight with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins. A lessor discussed tidbit is that he was an elder of the Presbyterian church and took communion on the moon. Aldrin had also previously been part of the Gemini 12 mission in 1966 with Jim Lovell where he performed three space walks. Buzz Aldrin has authored two autobiographies and is an advocate for further space exploration.
