    I was saddened to see Buzz Aldrin advertising porridge the other day.

    This bloke is one of 12 who have walked on the moon.

    It is precisely because he walked on the moon that he got the porridge job! :-)

    RIP Gene.

    RIP. Saw an interesting documentary about him a few months ago. Not the happiest of bunnies but refreshingly honest.

    I think its easy to forget that at the time the Apollo missions were really a magnificent thing and such a wonderful achievement for man (and of course a bit of political point scoring for USA) . Even people who walk on the moon arent immortal RIP ..One of a few very brave men

    You can't see the sadness of Buzz Aldrin, once at the coalface of mans' greatest achievments, advertising porridge?
