Buzz Aldrin: Wacky Astronaut Should Be Admired

The second man to walk on the Moon says there’s much to be "admired" in the way Capt. Lisa Nowak took care of business when she found out she had a rival for the affections of a fellow astronaut.

"Astronauts are not superhuman. They lead ordinary lives and have varied personalities," Aldrin said in comments published on Time magazine's Web site.
"I think Nowak should be admired for traveling across the country at night and not getting out of her car to put in gas or go to the restroom. It is not excusable, but it is understandable for an achiever to fall into a trap."

I am not sure the ability to hold off peeing while driving is exactly a superpower normally associated with the Right Stuff but okay. It kind of makes sense when you consider Buzz is an action type guy. Remember what happened the last time someone got all up in Aldrin’s grill?
