That was really a beautiful tribute. But I'll admit I was superconfused when I saw your post because I was all, "steps on another planet?! We've been to another planet?!" and I wondered how I'd missed that. But you, of course, meant the moon.

Oh, Buzz Aldrin. I seriously never tire of moon landing retrospectives. We were so cool back then. *sigh*

i suppose i technically should have said, as he did, another celestial body, but i say pffft...the moon deserves the upgrade for its sheer coolness.

the fact that we have astronauts that have stepped foot on the moon never fails to shock and astound me. :D
