BUZZ LIGHTYEAR

Buzz not the first to walk on the Moon ... but not the second either?

BUZZ ALDRIN bravely wrote about his post-moonwalk nervous breakdown in a 1973 memoir, Return to Earth.
He is head of Starcraft Enterprise, a California firm that promotes his ideas for reinvigorating the space program -- some of them outlandish enough to have earned him the sobriquet "the Nutty Professor" in the halls of his ex-employers at NASA.

In 2005, while being interviewed for a documentary entitled "First on the Moon: The Untold Story," Aldrin told an interviewer that he and the crew of the Apollo 11 witnessed an unidentified flying object.
David Morrison, a NAI Senior Scientist, claimed Aldrin later tolld him the Apollo 11 crew ultimately concluded that they were probably seeing a detached panel from the spacecraft.

Where are other moon walkers now?

NEIL ARMSTRONG lives on a farm in Ohio and zealously guards his privacy, granting no interviews.

EDGAR MITCHELL said his experiences in space provoked a "blissful alteration of consciousness." Mitchell founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Sausalito, California, which pursues such topics as ESP and the mind.

JAMES IRWIN "felt the power of God as I'd never felt it before" while walking on the moon.

CHARLES DUKE said "I think it is absolutely amazing that 25 years later, we do not have a base up there with human beings exploring that weird place."
