Buzz Aldrin Is A Fighter - Not A Lover

Today is the 40th Anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Eugene "Buzz" Aldrin being the first humans to walk on the moon.



Do you remember when filmmaker Bart Sibrel confronted Buzz Aldrin outside a hotel in California? Bart Sibrel berated Aldrin, claiming that the famous moon landing was a fake, and that Aldrin was a liar, a cheat and a thief, until 72 year-old Buzz Aldrin proceeded to punch Bart Sibrel in the face! That was the best old guy moment ever!

According To NASA


Today is the 40th Anniversary of the launching of Apollo 11, and Monday, July 20th, is the 40th Anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Eugene "Buzz" Aldrin being the first humans to walk on the moon.

Well, NASA reported today, that after an exhaustive three-year search for some tapes that contained the original footage of the Apollo 11 moonwalk, they have concluded that the tapes were probably destroyed during a period when NASA was erasing old magnetic tapes and reusing them to record satellite data.

It's kind of like an horrible episode of "According to Jim". Or what they call in the entertainment world, an episode of "According To Jim".... Think about it.... If NASA was a bumbling husband who was simple and didn't know a mop from a spoon, the moonwalk tapes were the wedding videos, and the satellite data was the Super Bowl. Boom.... Horrible sitcom....
