Buzz Aldrin on the 54th Anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11

Apollo 11 was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC, and Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface six hours and 39 minutes later, on July 21 at 02:56 UTC

Man has the time for 3 different planets.

matcherock,

have you got the time buzz?

pectoralis,

So many watches: East coast time, West coast time, and moon time.

Toto,

There’s so much context missing:

  • why’s is he eating breakfast?
  • what’s with the watches?
  • does he punch people with rings on or off?
ikilledlaurapalmer,

That breakfast is pretty killer though. I see that and I want to grow up to be an astronaut too.

The watch reads 3:05 so it's either brunch, or maybe he's a little bonkers with his sleep schedule? Based on what looks like the shadow from sunlight on the wall, I'm going with he's having a late brunch. Don't judge the man. You've never had a delicious plate of bacon edit: (Yes, I know it's steak) and eggs cause you felt like it?

He's a brand ambassador for Omega Speedwatch, which is part of why he does it, but he usually has several watches on.

Knowing this dude's public persona, I'm going with Rings on.

I think that may be the breakfast he had on launch day. I read the book that Michael Collins wrote (highly recommended) and what’s on that plate matches my memory.

Looking at it, I might try to make this breakfast for dinner this week...

Carrying the Fire! Awesome book - I read it a few years ago. Collins always added a wonderful perspective.

ShoePaste,

he’s got 3 watches on.

ax28,

Now there’s a guy that knows what time it is
