Buzz, like Obama, has no real plan, just a bunch of dreams subject to change without notice. Reality does not daunt either of them. The difference is, Buzz doesn't use the space program to pay off political cronies.

Buzz Aldrin is abit nuts these days but his heart is in the right place he deserves some kudos and respect, hes always championing space exploration, it wasn't just a job for him when he landed on the moon and it still isn't, hes still mad about it god bless his crazy soul!.

1) this old block's mentality is so cold war. i guess something as big as colonizing mars is a human endeavor, not a western nations endeavor (have to agree that the west does have more experience colonizing things). 2) the best idea (in going to mars) from new zealand? what a joke? have kiwis been working on any real space programmes? 3) no point going back to the moon? how about getting some Helium-3? it will run out on earth in 30 years, but it's abundant on the moon and it's crucial for nuclear fusion research and production. 4) Buzz Aldrin. unbelievable.
