Science Students meet the son of
Buzz Aldrin at the American Embassy
On
Tuesday 8th October 2019, year 10 Triple
Science students were overwhelmed
with excitement to be invited to meet Andy Aldrin,
President of the Buzz Aldrin Space Institute and son
of Buzz Aldrin (who, along with Neil Armstrong,
was one of the first two humans to land on the
moon).
Dr Andrew Aldrin serves as the President of the Buzz
Aldrin Space Institute (BASI) and is an Associate
Professor at Florida Institute of Technology. BASI
is a multidisciplinary institute created to advance
space exploration and development toward the goal
of establishing and maintaining a permanent human
presence on Mars. Buzz Aldrin’s Share Space
Foundation is the organization within BASI with
a focus on students.
Dr Aldrin holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from
UCLA, an MBA from TRIUM, an MA in Science
Technology and Public Policy from The George
Washington University, and an MA in International
Relations from the University of California at Santa
Barbara.
Before going on the visit students researched the
Apollo 11 landing as Andy was going to hold an
interactive Q&A session with the students after
screening the actual footage of Apollo 11.
The meeting was to be taking place at the US
Embassy in London which has very tight security
and as we got closer to the date the students became
more excited. The visit coincided with World Space
Week which made it extra special. For students an
opportunity to meet the son whose father was the
second man to land on the moon made it even more
significant, a once in a lifetime moment.
Students were seated in an auditorium with popcorn
and refreshments at the embassy to watch the 45
minute unseen footage movie before a Q&A session
was held. Year 10 students were joined by students
from two other schools in asking questions. After
the session, Cranford students got the opportunity
to shake hands and speak to Andy one to one. It
was amazing to see their faces full of excitement
and disbelief that they actual met the son of Buzz
Aldrin.
