I saw In The Shadow of the Moon (ThinkFilm, 9.7) again this evening — still a deeply moving “spirit movie” in the most celestial sense of that term — and later on shook hands with the great Buzz Aldrin, the Apollo 11 astronaut who became the second human to walk on the moon (on 7.20.69) and the first guy ever to take a leak on the moon, a fact revealed in the film. Read Buzz’s Wikipedia bio, and zero in on the short paragraph titled “Confrontation with Bart Sibrel” — my kind of astronaut.
