Rocket Hero

(Buzz Aldrin on “the walk”)

SW2′s Kristi and I had a breakfast that was out of this world – literally! This morning we dined with astronaut and Rocket Hero Buzz Aldrin. Bright and early, I got my first physics lesson in about 7 years as he taught me how to prepare for Zero Gravity and the new methods for the astronauts to enter back into our Earth’s atmosphere. Space travel has seriously evolved since he first stepped foot on the moon! But my favorite topic of conversation: Space Ice Cream – turns out the crew of Apollo 11 did not enjoy the freeze dried treat I buy whenever I visit the Museum of Natural History gift shop…maybe I am the space cadet.

Buzz contributes to Jeffrey Roth’s documentary “The Wonder of it All” which we are both adding to our Netflix queue asap.
