Interviewee: Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11 Astronaut. |
3-2-1 Launch!
We at ScienCentral thought, “What better way to kick off the launch of our new Web site than with the help of astronaut extraordinaire, Buzz Aldrin?” We caught up with the American icon at the premiere of the new animated 3D film Fly Me to the Moon in which Buzz makes a live-action cameo appearance. The movie tells the story of the Apollo 11 mission with a whimsical twist involving three tween-aged flies that go on an incredible space adventure. The G-rated family film aims to reinvigorate the public’s excitement and interest in space exploration.
With that same spirit in mind, ScienCentral took to the streets of New York City to ask passersby if they had questions they would like to “Ask an Astronaut.” Buzz’s fascinating and candid answers cover everything from his thoughts on the vast emptiness of space to his musings on the first thing he ate when he returned from the historic moon landing of Apollo 11. The video is part one in a series of several original Web pieces featuring Mr. Aldrin that will run on ScienCentral.com in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back often!
Fly me to the Moon lands in theaters August 15, 2008. Thanks to Buzz for helping ScienCentral blast off!

Great interview! loved Ask an Astronaut ! The old film clips are great and the interview style was so relaxed - makes for a nice change! So great to give young people a chance to ask questions of such an icon and someone who can inspire us. Thank goodness you don't interview mindless celebrities!

Funny you should mention that Lizzybe… we have some celebrity interviews coming up as well! Not to worry though, they were actually quite thoughtful. Stay tuned for that, and for the second installment of “Ask an Astronaut: Buzz Aldrin” later this week!
August 13th, 2008 at 1:20 am (#)
I agree with Lizzybe, this is a great idea. These are some of the folks that our kids should get to listen to. The superstar of today is a singer that will be forgotten in a year or a person who is famous for being famous (not the models our kids need to see).

Hi
I was so impressed with the science aspect of the show with its laid back
discussions and am still looking forward to you guys interviewing some really
interesting people so I will be checking back regularly. I guess its hard to
escape celebrity these days but I am sure you guys will handle them well!
Have you guys thought of interviewing Richard Dawkins - the “evolutionary
biologist” ( the Selfish Gene) -his show is a big hit over here in England -
Social Dawism …. Not sure how he would go over in the states though..!

Dear Oleg, I had someone try to translate because all I understood was your name and that the comment was something about the blog (I do not speak Russian). Anyway, thanks for commenting! No matter how many languages we speak, we are all fascinated by space and the people who had the chance to see it for themselves.

Hello, I am a confused little boy who has questions.
We had this big race to the moon with the Russians but not only did we beat them there they have not been able to do it, 40 years later? Why is that? Why did they give up? Are they just real sore losers?
Why would we have no reason to return to the moon? I have a hard time believing that the Military would not want to have bases on the moon.
Why has no other nation even sent a craft to orbit the moon, let alone attempt to get there with humans?
It is obvious scientist have present questions about the moon, we are blowing things up on it. Why can’t we ‘return’ to the moon?
Too expensive? Well in the 60s, a not so prosperous time, we were engaged in a cold war as well as a hot war in Asia, yet we still managed to to go SEVEN times using a NEW, disposable, multi-sectioned spacecraft each time?
When the astronauts are seen jumping, why are they only clearing like a foot? Wouldn’t you jump much higher in 1/6th gravity?
Given the complete lack of air resistance on the moon, shouldn’t things fall faster? Why does it appear as if they are bouncing along so slowly? Shouldn’t they have been moving faster than on Earth?
When taking all those pictures, why did they not once take a shot of the stars? No atmosphere, they should have been pretty darn bright. Since they had to “pre-program” all the cameras so they could take the pictures with little to no focusing from the photographers, why did they not program a set so we could see what stars look like on the moon? Great place for future telescopes right? Because the stars are so bright. Why does no one, except the astronauts, know what those stars look like?
How is it possible that Nasa can lose 700 boxes of the video of the moonlandings? It is obvious a lot of time went into making the cameras and video able to work on the moon.
As to the footage, that was aired. Is it not true that it was, “Because Nassa’s equipment was not compatible with TV technology of the day, the original transmissions had to be displayed on a monitor and re-shot by a TV camera for broascast.” As Nasa says. Is this true?
I guess it does not really matter if all the tapes are ‘missing’ right?
Isn’t it true that all of the info is missing? All of the data, the entire alleged record of the moon landings, the 13,000 plus reels, also the original plans/blue prints for the lunar modules, and the lunar rovers as well as the Saturn rockets?
No wonder NASA has not been given any money to go to the moon, they would probably just lose it.

One more thing. I believe that there are several travel insurance web sites of trustworthy companies that let you enter your journey details and get you the rates. You can also purchase the actual international travel insurance policy online by using your own credit card. All you have to do is usually to enter the travel particulars and you can understand the plans side-by-side. Only find the system that suits your finances and needs and then use your bank credit card to buy them. Travel insurance online is a good way to begin looking for a reputable company with regard to international travel cover. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

As said orphanages are now refer to as foster homes or group homes. Though they have some residential organizations for at risk youth or troubled kids. Those kids though are not usually accessible to the public. As far as foster kids and wanting to help them that is a tough 1 as you need to pass a fingerprint/background check to get contact as well as interview with all the CPS agency in your region. Could I suggest you verify into volunteering for a DV shelter or even examine into CASA. I have volunteered at a shelter and it might be rewarding to support as I baby sat for the kids while the mother had to either go to counseling or task interviews. CASA works significantly more using the courts and foster care in making sure that the kids needs are heard. I have put two links below that you can verify on for more information.

I believe that avoiding ready-made foods is the first step to lose weight. They will often taste excellent, but ready-made foods include very little nutritional value, making you take more to have enough strength to get through the day. If you’re constantly taking in these foods, converting to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will let you have more energy while consuming less. Interesting blog post.

I’ve learned newer and more effective things through your blog post. One other thing I have discovered is that in most cases, FSBO sellers are going to reject people. Remember, they’d prefer not to use your products and services. But if you actually maintain a stable, professional partnership, offering assistance and remaining in contact for four to five weeks, you will usually be able to win an interview. From there, a listing follows. Thank you
