Aldrin decks dumbass
Apparently, this conspiracy theorist believes that the moon landing was faked, and he decided to tell Buzz Aldrin all about it.

1. Is Aldrin the astronaut that went looking for Noah's Ark? No it was Irwin.
Edited on Fri Jul-30-04 01:55 PM by yellowcanine
One of the original 7 astronauts led an expedition in search of Noah's Ark.

On Edit: I looked it up - it was James Irwin , Apollo 15 moonwalker. Sorry Buzz.

2. No.
It was er, y'know, um, Mumbley Pete...

He died of cancer and was a Rep or Senator from Colorado.

Richardo <--- known for his vice-like grasp of facts.

5. James Irwin - NOT one of the original Mercury 7.
He was a Gemini/Apollo guy I think.

9. Skeptics are so intolerant.
The fact that you people have to go around beating us up, just because we have a different opinion, proves that you haven't got a legitimate argument.

10. Excellent. I've had the pleasure of working with Buzz.....
He's one of the most stand-up people I've ever met. He doesn't mince words, he's completely candid.

Another thing. Buzz has got to be well over 70 by now. He could easily kick any one of our asses. There something about those guys who have walked on the moon. You can see it in their eyes. They're different, that's for sure.

The dumbass had it coming. And Buzz let him off easy, I'd say.

11. "You're a coward, a liar, and a thief" *Pow*

Of course this short segment doesn't tell the whole story.

This individual has stalked Aldrin and his family before. This time, the so-called "journalist" catches Aldrin and his teen-aged grand-daughter on vacation coming out of their hotel. Aldrin tells him to go away. Instead he chases them all the way down the street to their car and then starts getting in Aldrin's face.

*Then* he calls Aldrin a coward, liar, and a thief.

After Aldrin takes his swing, Mr. Journalist turns to his cameraman and asks excitedly "did you get that?"

What a sleazebag.
