On July 20th, 1969, Buzz Aldrin was 39 years old, as he and Neil Armstrong became the first two human beings ever to set foor on the surface of the moon.

To untold millions of people all over the world, Buzz Aldrin, to this day, remains a larger-than-life hero. That's why, when I met him in 2000, I was more than just a bit starstruck.
