Buzz Aldrin: After SpaceX launch, we must reach for the moon again and Mars
Buzz Aldrin Your turn | Opinion  Published 11:47 AM EDT Jun 3, 2020


Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin waves as he is introduced to the crowd on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing Saturday, July 20, 2019, at the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at Kennedy Space Center Craig Bailey/FLORIDA TODAY

The future is bright. America is back in the human space launch game. SpaceX successfully launched the “Demo-2 Crew Dragon” rocket from Pad 39A at Cape Canaveral, taking two astronauts up to the International Space Station.

There is much to be proud of in that launch that took off from the same launch pad that sent Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins and myself to the moon. Now, looking forward, we need to get back to human space exploration.

When the Apollo 11 crew launched on our Saturn 5 rocket and headed for the moon, Americans gathered to celebrate not just an American launch — we had sent astronauts up 19 times by then — but a launch aimed at landing men on the moon.

That is what should come next: American human missions back to the moon, followed in short order by a long-promised and repeatedly re-engineered human mission to Mars.

If getting to Mars will require refining launch trajectories, reentry speeds, radiation protection, and assuring human life support for the duration, getting to the moon should be simpler — and likely require space-based infrastructure that is simpler and more direct than current plans. 

These goals stand before us as inviting, thought prompting, wonder-filled, and compelling of this generation as a full moon on the horizon. We know that we are explorers at heart, and that means taking action to get there.   

For those who do not see the difference, consider the difference between simply sailing and planting feet on a distant destination, between simple fishing sloops and the august Mayflower, between early barnstormers and Lindberg’s decision to cross the Atlantic in the Spirit of St Louis.

Putting geopolitics and national security to one side — although both matter and will more in the future — we humans are born explorers. We first learn to walk and yearn to go somewhere, then to run, cycle and drive — always with a destination in sight. Some of us learned to fly, and of that group some learned to pilot spaceships into orbit. A few of us became lunar module pilots, taking a spacecraft down to the moon from lunar orbit — at which point, we again used walking skills.

Just as the other side of the room or your town, city, state or country grows familiar, so too does Earth orbit. At first exciting, invigorating, and a source of danger and reward, in time the process and location become familiar to a nation. New goals must be set, planned for, achieved. That is the timeless nature of American  and human exploration.

That is also why the steps America first took 59 years ago with Alan Shepherd’s suborbital launch — followed by more than 160 other Americans human launches — were both important in themselves and steppingstones to a more challenging future.

We explore, or we expire.   

Our launch on May 30 of Americans on an American rocket was important.  Now, we must reach higher, go further, strike camp in Earth orbit, and send pioneering wagons and SpaceX dragons to other inclinations — begin exploring the moon and Mars in person and in earnest.

The truth is that humankind loves to explore, needs to explore, and now has the technology, accumulated history in space, and power to explore.

I was as exhilarated, inspired and gratified as any to see an American rocket again carrying American astronauts — two distinguished former Space Shuttle crew — from American soil into space. But the future for America and those who will “come in peace for all mankind” to more distant destinations is to look past Earth orbit and again toward the moon and Mars.

On some distant day, from the Plymouth Rock or Cape Canaveral of those far-off places, future American explorers will once again look and reach outward. There is no end to human exploration if we will listen to our hearts and keep taking our next steps.

The future is bright. The recent SpaceX launch reminds us America’s destiny is out there waiting for us!

53 years ago today, NASA formally announced Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins, and I as the prime crew for our nation's inaugural lunar landing. It was an tremendous privilege to join my crewmates on the mission of a lifetime. I will never forget this special moment.
