I was named after Buzz Aldrin.
My mom found out she was pregnant in the summer of 1969, just as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were walking on the moon. So I was going to be either Neil or Buzz some 7 months later… I was Buzz.
In 2005 I had the chance to meet my namesake at CES in Las Vegas, it was a huge thrill.
Today Virgin Galactic unveiled their mothership, Eve, as they continue the Race for Space.
Virgin Galactic is giving the world a glimpse of its secret space tourism program.
The spaceline trotted out the mothership aircraft Monday that will launch a still-to-be-built spaceship out of the atmosphere.
The early morning rollout in California’s Mojave desert comes four years after SpaceShipOne became the first private manned rocket to reach space.
The White Knight Two aircraft will undergo flight tests this fall. The actual spaceship is still under development.
More than 250 customers have paid $200,000 or put down a deposit for the chance to be one of Virgin Galactic’s first space tourists. [AP]

When I was 6 I visited the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
On my 16th birthday, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded.
When I was 26 I starred in an exhibit at the HR Macmillan Space Centre in Vancouver.
Who knows .. when I’m 46 will I slip the surly bonds of earth? The dream became a little bit more possible today.
