An evening with Buzz Aldrin

I suspect the likelihood of running into another moonwalker in the north is vanishingly small - let alone arguably the "best". John Young would, I suspect be the ultimate - the stuff that guy has seen and done just blows anyone else away.

I was talking to a serious space autograph anorak at the event and he said that (in addition to meeting Buzz seven times and I think having all the moonwalkers) his most valued one was Jim Lovell.

My favourite moonwalkers are Jim Lovell and Charlie Duke.

Errrrrrrr.......

I think my favourite is and always has been Buzz, but (as per my comment above) John Young - wow just wow! What a life! And Cernan is so lucky as he has, effectively, been twice.

John Young went twice (Apollo 10 and 16).
Cernan went twice (10 and 17)
Lovell went twice (8 and 13) although missed out on his chance to land on 13.

All the Apollo astronauts are/were men of courage and intelligence, and they are all worth reading or listening to.
