Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, endorsed Donald Trump for president in a statement released Tuesday. Aldrin highlighted Trump’s commitment to exploration in his endorsement. “Over the years, I have seen our government’s approach to space wax and wane, a fluctuating dynamic that has disappointed me from time to time,” Aldrin wrote. “Under President Trump’s first term, America saw a revitalized interest in space. His Administration reignited national efforts to get back to the Moon, and push on to Mars – programs that continue today.” Aldrin added that Trump reinstated the National Space Council and created the U.S. Space Force. He also pointed to “great advancements in the private sector space economy, led by visionaries like Elon Musk.”
