Got to meet this man and shake his hand and talk to him about his experiences when I was a youth.

It was an incredible experience.

This should be the expected consequence anytime you get in someone's face like that and disregard their requests to fuck off.

If you haven't read "carrying the fire" by Michael Collins, do yourself a favor and buy the book now. It describes the life of an astronaut in the Gemini and Apollo programs. It gives some perspective as to why Buzz would punch that douche in the face.

I love Buzz Lightyear

What a baby blue jean wearing, nasally voiced, and deliberately disrespectful sack of shit. He was privileged for getting his clock cleaned by an astronaut.

Seriously, imagine this spicy herb getting up in your face like that, accusing you of lies and publicly insulting you. Any guy from 12 to 80 years old would've punched this dude in the face.

[IvanDrago]

To the dude's credit, at least he didn't fake a moon landing.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Those early astronauts and test pilots were maniacs. Ballsy bastards pushing aviation to the limits.

[DannyAlberta]

not a bad smack for a guy who was in his mid 70s at the time.

[Engineer]

BOOM! Hope I have 1/100 the sack when I'm that old.

There's not a lot of genuine heroes out there, good role models for the youth, etc. in my opinion. Buzz has been on the highest highs and lowest lows thru his life, and come out on top still advocating for a sensible path forward for an early interplanetary society while in his fucking 70s. The man has accomplished more than most would in 3 lifetimes.

The engineers of the past were manly fuckers.

Now the profession is filled with aspie omegas.

Thanks for that, made my day. Aldrin looks pretty fit. WB his personal assistant or whoever she was in the yellow top, hope he was, too (unless she's his daughter).

[Carlos100]

A guy over 70 doing this looks cool and manly. A guy under 70 who punches out a wimpy, loony, conspiracy nutter instead of using amused mastery looks defensive and weak. Context, IMO. It makes a difference, of course, that Aldrin actually risked his ass by jetting off into outer space on fragile machines while this kook was dreaming about how he could fix the world through his own, half-baked sophistry.
