Aldrin is taking note of the fact that the only space Trump is familiar with is between his ears.

I believe he had something significant to say if only they turned the mike over to him. But to his credit, Buzz didn't throw any punches.

He's one of last of the old steely eyed missile men. The pioneers of space exploration. 2nd human to set foot on our moon.

I had the honor of meeting Buzz Aldrin. Somewhere, I've got his autograph on an International Space Development Conference program booklet, along with Majel Barret Roddenberry's.

...along with John Glenn, is one of this space junkie's 2 very favorite astronauts!

He is WAY too smart to ever buy into the Donald Trump style of snake oil.

PEACE!

Having to listen to the space cadet extol the virtues of space while slashing budgets?

Well that takes a lot of control.

I believe Aldrin trolled dump with the Buzz Lightyear quote, "To infinity and beyond". Keeping it simple for the idiot.

He looks like he's wincing in pain the entire time, and his expression is of someone who'd like to chew his own leg off to escape.

Reading from his speech, Trump had a poignant comment about “discovery” and a journey that “will not only make us stronger and more prosperous but will unite us behind grand ambitions and bring us all closer together.” But the moment was short-lived as Trump ad libbed, “Wouldn’t that be nice? Can you believe that space is going to do that?”

Trump then sat down at the table to sign the executive order. “I know what this is. Space!” he announced, enthusiastically.

Aldrin again seemed uncomfortable. “To infinity and beyond!” he joked, and those at the event chuckled.

Trump missed the joke.

“This is infinity here. It could be infinity. We don’t really don’t know. But it could be. It has to be something — but it could be infinity, right?” he said and signed the order.
