Aldrin wrote in an address that the US needs a proven, tested and serious leader in the White House.
Buzz Aldrin, the second person to walk on the Moon, endorsed former President Donald Trump on Saturday.“The Presidency requires an understanding of human nature, clarity in judgement, decisiveness, knowledge, understanding, and calm under pressures few have a natural ability to manage, or the life experience to successfully undertake,” Aldrin said.
“From the skies over Korea in air-to-air combat to navigating, landing, and walking on the Moon, I appreciate this kind of pressure,” he wrote. “I know what it is like to have to make these kinds of decisions, firmly, on principle, with resolve and follow-through. Training, experience, and trust matter.”
Aldrin expressed support for the creation of the Space Force under Trump, which he said was increasingly important as space becomes a “contested domain.” Trump also ordered the National Space Council, which advises the president on national space policy, to start meeting again. It had stopped operating in 1993.
"These are concrete accomplishments that align with my concerns and America’s policy priorities,” Aldrin wrote.“But under the first Trump Administration, I was impressed to see how human space exploration was elevated, made a policy of high importance again,” the address reads. “Under President Trump’s first term, America saw a revitalized interest in space.”
