" You know beer person. Anyway he walked on the moon but his advice on health care might be to walk lightly. And that's because he's not happy with the government's alien space program is in Washington simply spacing out wide Buzz Aldrin says. We need to aim higher the former Apollo eleven astronaut -- was furious that. A couple of weeks ago when I criticized the stupid. Mission when they were blown up the moon to look for water -- back now they kick my man."

" It's. Buzz of an inaudible is called magnificent desolation -- great to have they did they say it. Well you know I think you're a little hard on this administration. Don't I'm not was hard on -- yeah I -- affording this stupid rocket blow up -- and well -- the dispenser that pretty quick is that mission has been underway for a long time. And to think that -- because it just doesn't flash when you. A second to sound bite people wanna see a flash immediately and Ronald and it's not worthy of if you have to sit and understand -- data I know what you're talking about the -- I'm just saying you're the minister vision and he walked on the -- forty years -- right and the same thing you're -- on their Christian rockets let me tell you you know I think I got a lot of good answers but one of the first missions that I see as early -- 38. To fall. Is is to fly by comet and and I was gonna contrive a science experiment where we would. Launch AF scientific penetrator. Now the DOD calls that the kinetic kill vehicle you know right but you don't have to do that and I should realize that. Just followed the lesson have felt crushed. And the upper stage rocket that gets you going toward the comet just navigated and crash it in to the comet. As we go by and everybody back here's looking at the tail of the comet and they see it go boom. And then they see it TV with a crew of three. No six. That are that are going by. And and this is a test of the exploration. Module can answer that very few people realize. Is what we have to have to it to --"

" Or beyond the by the united us in a word you just said Barnard yes you do on her -- I'm I'm gonna argue about I am wondering about this stuff. The -- for NASA we touched on annals righteousness and and and and and we're not doing the big south and maybe we can't afford the big stuff -- do you think that's what it is we would division isn't there because the money isn't."

" Well obviously a fast I can do this we had an accident. In February 1 to Colombia came apart and killed seven people my very first. 03 now before that NASA was saying we're gonna fly the shuttle told 20/20 or 20/20 five. Our guys said you gotta have an abort system you gotta have an ejection system port. But NASA wasn't gonna do that anyway. NASA came up with. An accident report that said separate. Crew and cargo. But not just the spacecraft in the launch vehicle so we now developed. To launch vehicles I concede that that was under way. This study was underway and that's why I got that the head of the accident board and the NASA admiral in charge."

" And exactly kind of thing wouldn't be repeated what they hope you just don't wanna build two launch vehicles when you can build one and his that you already have. They let on you -- but he put that what has run us into debt. Great now by under the let's say NASA."

" It it is it implemented it. The vision for space exploration of President Bush is the incorrect way -- very expensive way. And and because this small rocket isn't powerful enough the Lander has to be so big that it has to put the two spacecraft into orbit. Around the moon that's not so great and I don't know well yes so yes we need to in the money at this present on the space. You know commitment to verses the last president her. I guess every astronauts there was John Kennedy America's seaport a lot and yeah but but John Kennedy said we're gonna do a stunt to get the people behind us we're gonna kick up dust on the moon it's not sustaining. This president has an opportunity. Not in one decade but in. 25. Years. A level for ten years of recession funding to do what to look to what to do to restated the fifth. Then the fiftieth anniversary of -- where the president will then. Complete the commitment that takes place now. To settle. Human beings permanently on another planet Mars our solar system Mars is a -- of course of course march and that this president is President Obama. And he could go down in history by doing this."

" You don't buzz at every time I see you here I'm always remind that the people after the forty -- versus say you and Neil Armstrong never walked them. And one of my -- let's I don't -- I know adds air to get ahead of them don't get man and I'm just saying this is one of my favorite videos of you. Responding to a charge let's -- sort of look past I got here."

" It you know you know what Jay Leno did really sad that do did question whether you look tournament and you just you Florida and it. Well -- and know what he did was he EU. Read it back to tackle after everybody loved it loved it. And the so I was hidden about pilot didn't. Isn't that guy and then people just think I don't know whether the idiot and that was the best publicity I think I've ever Ohio isn't even -- yeah Arabs who are a little bit jealous of mine just be in the right place at the right time. As an -- from MIT. Where you're -- again. Yes but anyway they cheered me on because of that. Now I did pretty well on that -- and the most popular use of the Ali G. Yeah I did pretty well -- and I walk off I gave my. Answers to his stupid question."

" That's that's that's that's --"

" So you're here you're not mad at me now because I'll follow absolutely because we're gonna talk about. The future that this president can go down in history we're gonna gonna gonna get a time where drug and that's how are things to. About fund it and we well buzz we what we're gonna go up to thirty years -- and landed on around the way we don't wanna go back any oceans."
