Buzz Aldrin, a former astronaut for the United States, recently tied the knot for the fourth time on his 93rd birthday.
In 1969, Mr. Aldrin was one of the pilots who participated in the historic Apollo 11 voyage. As a result of his participation, he became one of the first two humans to step foot on the moon, together with the mission’s commander, Neil Armstrong.
The seasoned aviator remarked that he and his new bride, Anca Faur, were “as enthusiastic as eloping teenagers” on their wedding day.
He is one of just four people who have ever set foot on the moon who are still alive today.
Mr. Aldrin took to Twitter to share photographs that he had taken at the ceremony in Los Angeles.
It was on his 93rd birthday and the day he was going to be honored by Living Legends of Aviation that he tweeted, “On my 93rd birthday and the day I will be honored by Living Legends of Aviation,I am thrilled to report that my long-time love Dr. Anca Faur and I have tied the wedding.”
Buzz Aldrin Ventures is owned and operated by Buzz Faur, 63, who holds a doctorate in chemical engineering and serves as the executive vice president of the company.
As part of the Apollo 11 mission, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the moon in 1969. This historic event was witnessed by an estimated 600 million people around the world. At the time, it was the greatest audience to ever see something on television.
After what seemed like just a few short hours, Buzz Aldrin became one of the most well-known people in the world. The months that followed were a whirlwind of media appearances, photo ops, and after-dinner talks.
In 2001, Mr. Aldrin gave an interview to the Los Angeles Times in which he stated, “I hadn’t thought that much of what might follow later.” “Being thrown into the public eye as much as it was did not make me feel comfortable or prepared in any way,” I said.
Before he became recognized for his role in the moon landing, Buzz Aldrin served as a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force during the Korean War.
In 2018, he established the Human SpaceFlight Institute as a research organization that is not for business.
