Buzz Aldrin: We Never Went To the Moon...

Video Transcript:

Let's look at the photo. You say that's me? Okay, check out the name badge. It says Aldrin looks like you're right, but notice the helmet. Can you see my face? No. This is a secret I've been keeping for almost half a century. On July 20th 1969 Neil Armstrong and I pulled off humanity's first extraterrestrial prank. What was the scariest moment of the journey? It's scary. It didn't happen. It could have been scary. Why has nobody been to the moon such a long time? That's not an eight-year-old's question. That's my question. I want to know, but I think I know. Because we didn't go there and that's the way it happened. If it didn't happen, it's nice to know why it didn't happen. So in the future, if we want to keep doing something, we need to know why something stopped in the past that we wanted to keep going. Money is a good thing.
