Distiguished lecture by Dr. Buzz Aldrin, Chancellor, International Space University, Apollo 11, Gemini 12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each year, ISU honors the memory of one of its greatest supporters, Dr. Gerald Soffen, with a lecture featuring a prominent visionary in the space sector.\u00a0 Few are more visionary than ISU’s Chancellor and Apollo 11 moonwalker, Dr. Buzz Aldrin.<\/p>\n

Buzz Aldrin earned his Doctorate of Science in Astronautics at MIT and wrote his thesis on Manned Orbital Rendezvous.\u00a0 He was selected by NASA in 1963 into the third group of astronauts, and earned the nickname \u201cDr. Rendezvous.\u201d The docking and rendezvous techniques he devised are still used today. He also pioneered underwater training techniques, as a substitute for zero gravity flights, to simulate spacewalking.
\nIn 1966 on the Gemini 12 orbital mission, Buzz set an EVA record for a 5 \u00bd hour spacealk. On July 20, 1969, Buzz and Neil Armstrong made their historic Apollo 11 moonwalk, becoming the first two humans to set foot on another world. They spent 21 hours on the lunar surface and returned with 46 pounds of moon rocks. An estimated 600 million people \u2013 at that time, the world\u2019s largest television audience in history \u2013 witnessed this unprecedented heroic endeavor.<\/p>\n

Since retiring from NASA, Buzz has remained a proponent of human space exploration. He devised a master plan for missions to Mars known as the \u201cAldrin Mars Cycler\u201d, and has received three US patents for his schematics of a modular space station, Starbooster reusable rockets, and multi-crew modules for space flight. He founded Starcraft Boosters, Inc., a rocket design company, and Buzz Aldrin\u2019s ShareSpace Foundation, a nonprofit devoted to addressing science literacy for children by igniting their passion for science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) through delivering hands-on STEAM activities and inspirational messages.<\/p>\n

Dr. Aldrin is an author of nine books including his New York Times best-selling autobiography entitled, \u201cMagnificent Desolation\u201d.\u00a0 He continues to inspire today\u2019s youth with his illustrated children\u2019s books: Reaching for the Moon,\u00a0 Look to the Stars, and recently released Welcome to Mars:<\/p>\n

Making a Home on the Red Planet. His 2013 book, \u201cMission to Mars: My Vision for Space Exploration\u201d, outlines his plan to get us beyond the moon and on to Mars.\u00a0 As one of the leading space exploration advocates, Buzz continues to chart a course for future space travel and is passionate about inspiring the younger generations of future explorers and innovators.<\/p>\n
