Moonwalking Astronaut Buzz Aldrin announces his support for President Trump.
Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin Eugene “Buzz” Aldrin Jr., the second person to walk on the moon after mission commander Neil Armstrong, endorsed President Trump on Wednesday.
“America is facing serious and difficult challenges both at home and abroad,” Aldrin, the Lunar Module pilot on Apollo 11 and Gemini 12 pilot, wrote. “The Presidency requires clarity in judgement, decisiveness, and calm under pressure that few have a natural ability to manage, or the life experience to successfully undertake. It is a job where decisions are made that routinely involve American lives – some urgently but not without thought.”
“The job requires sober analysis of frightening scenarios, and the instinct to lead with resolve,” the brigadier general continued. “From the skies over Korea in air-to-air combat to navigating, landing, and walking on the Moon, I appreciate this kind of pressure. I know what it is like to have to make these kinds of decisions, with firmness and follow-through.”
“In this election, we have a choice and we all have one vote,” he said. “For some, the choice may not be easy – but in times of uncertainty real leaders are most needed – to guide and inspire a people, to push through the noise, recognize what really matters, and accomplish missions critical to all citizens. Most Americans rightly consider it an honor to cast their vote for a leader they believe will best serve the nation. For me, for the future of our country, to meet enormous challenges, and for the proven policy accomplishments above, I believe we are best served by voting for @realDonaldTrump. I wholeheartedly endorse him for President of the United States. Godspeed President Trump, and God Bless the United States of America.”
Under the first Trump administration, Aldrin said he “was impressed to see how human space exploration was elevated as a policy of high importance again.” He said “America saw a revitalized interest in Space, and his Administration reignited national efforts to get back to the Moon, and push on to Mars.” He also credited the Trump administration for reinstituting the National Space Council, “and our Nation’s defense was enhanced with the creation of the U.S. Space Force – increasingly important as space becomes a contested domain.”
Aldrin also acknowledged Elon Musk, who endorsed Trump, as exemplifying one of the visionaries promoting “the great advancements in the private sector space economy.”
