BUZZ ALDRIN: “It did exact a toll on the change of a person’s life and I didn’t really relish that. But really, I shared with my first wife that if there was any preference, I’d just as soon be on a later mission. But that choice was really not up to me, and I wouldn’t have traded the opportunity that I had to be a part of Apollo eleven or certainly anything that could have come along.”
SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: The Air Force later put Buzz Aldrin in command of a school for test pilots. But he was a fighter pilot, not a test pilot, and not a very good commander. He retired from the Air Force within a year, in nineteen seventy-two.
He had spent twenty-one years on active duty. Now, all of a sudden, he had nowhere he needed to be, no mission, no structure in his life.
He and the other astronauts had been presented as supermen. He found that the people closest to him could not believe he was having a tough time.
He wrote about his problems, and the help he received from psychiatrists, in his nineteen seventy-three autobiography "Return to Earth." But his life got worse. He published another book about it in two thousand nine.
There was a history of depression in his family. His mother’s father killed himself. And his mother -- who was named Marion Moon -- killed herself the year before the moon landing.
BUZZ ALDRIN: “Well, I had to live with who I was and what I inherited. And, as it turned out, I inherited genes from my mother’s side of the family.”
