Buzz Aldrin, the second person to walk on the moon, revealed in a statement shared to social media that he is supporting Trump in the race for president, citing in part his administration’s approach to space and the creation of the U.S. Space Force.
Aldrin, who served as the lunar module pilot on Apollo 11, said the nation is facing challenges at home and abroad, and said the U.S. needs a “proven, serious, tested leader for president.”
“Most citizens rightly consider it an honor to cast their vote for a leader they believe will best serve the nation – our government by, for and of the people,” he said. “For me, for the future of our nation, to meet enormous challenges, and for the proven policy accomplishments above, I believe the nation is best served by voting for Donald J. Trump. I wholeheartedly endorse him for President of the United States. Godspeed President Trump, and God Bless the United States of America.”
Aldrin said that the job of the president “requires sober analysis of frightening scenarios, and the instinct to lead with resolve,” and the presidency mandates an “understanding of human nature, clarity in judgment, decisiveness, knowledge, understanding and calm under pressures” that he said few have.
“In this election, we have a choice. We all have one vote,” he said. “For some, the choice may not be easy – but in times of uncertainty real leaders are most needed – to guide and inspire a people, to push through the noise, recognize what really matters, and accomplish missions critical to all citizens.”
