Cannot resist to post this:
Yesterday, in the town where I live, there was an event: a conference organized by a local association, with Buzz Aldrin as special guest!
He spoke about historical Apollo 11 experience and also about his "vision" of future manned space exploration; he was very clear and straightforward.
The following picture was taken yesterday in Avezzano (AQ) by a friend, I am sitting near Aldrin and his wife... I cannot express what emotion/honor for me!

I've met and worked with Buzz on a number of his trips to Australia.
He's certainly a special person. His wife Lois is lovely and very protective of him.

Nice picture Dilo!
