Theodore Roosevelt inspiroval medvídka.
Aldrin, absolvent americké vojenské akademie, West Point, New York (1951), se stal pilotem letectva. Během korejské války letěl 66 bojových misí, kde v 51. stíhacím křídle v Soulu letěl s letouny F-86 „Sabre“ a sestřelil dvě trysky MiG-15. Aldrin později sloužil v západním Německu. V roce 1963 napsal disertační práci na orbitální mechanice, aby získal titul Ph.D. z Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge. Později toho roku byl vybrán jako astronaut.
11. listopadu 1966 se připojil k Jamesovi A. Lovellovi, ml., Na čtyřdenní let Gemini 12. Společně Aldrin Tři procházky v prostoru dosáhl rekordních 5 1 / 2 hodiny, což dokazuje, že lidské bytosti mohou účinně fungovat ve vakuu prostoru.
Apollo 11, crewed by Aldrin, Neil A. Armstrong, and Michael Collins, was launched to the Moon on July 16, 1969. Four days later Armstrong and Aldrin landed near the edge of Mare Tranquillitatis. After spending about two hours gathering rock samples, taking photographs, and setting up scientific equipment for tests, they concluded their lunar surface excursion. Armstrong and Aldrin later piloted the lunar module Eagle to a successful rendezvous with Collins and the command module in lunar orbit. The mission ended on July 24 with splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
Aldrin retired from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1971 to become commandant of the Aerospace Research Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California. In March 1972 he retired from the air force to enter private business. In 1988 he legally changed his name to Buzz Aldrin. (“Buzz” was his lifelong nickname.) In 1998 he founded the ShareSpace Foundation, a nonprofit organization to promote the expansion of crewed space exploration.
Aldrin wrote two autobiographies, Return to Earth (1973), which told the story of his experience with depression following the Apollo 11 mission, and Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home from the Moon (2009, with Ken Abraham). He also wrote a history of the Apollo program, Men from Earth (1989, with Malcolm McConnell); two children’s books, Reaching for the Moon (2005) and Look to the Stars (2009); and two forward-looking works, Mission to Mars: My Vision for Space Exploration (2013) and No Dream Is Too High: Life Lessons from a Man Who Walked on the Moon (2016).
