[@scootertooter6874]

Understand where he is coming from. I have similarities with Buzz...although I had a troubled home life as a kid, which I've come to realize is where the lion's share of my future troubles came from. I was a career AF officer, nuclear ICBM crewmember ("Perfection is the standard"), then later a space operations crewmember (no mottos about perfection, but when the vehicles you are flying are each multi-billion dollar assets...the pressure to know the system cold and not screw up remains very strong), worked in the aerospace industry as a consultant, and got to a point where the pressure simply became too much for me to bear (thanks to an unexpected external set of events). That was in September 2018. I immediately entered therapy and dedicated myself to learning and healing (best thing that ever happened to me), and have kept at it. And I have had my battles self-medicating with alcohol. So it resonates with me. I can certainly empathize with what Buzz must have had to go through-- especially back in the 70s.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

Buzz Aldrin is a very rare beast indeed: gung ho and brilliant (in no particular order). If we could reverse or even reset the aging process for just one person in the entire world, I'd try to make an argument for Dr Aldrin every time. I mean, someone has to take us to Mars. That is, someone brave enough to do it, and smart enough not to screw it up!

I had the privilege of meeting Buzz at the Leicester space centre many years ago and he was a great speaker and very modest about his part in the Apollo program.

[@godsoneus]

I agree potential financial gain has impacted the idea and influence and understanding of depression - and not for the best. But it certainly does exist. People may differ on the name, method of dealing with it etc...but it's very real. Of course it's not simply black and white - there is a huge variation in it's severity. Sadly, there are now so many people just having a bad day or week, and adopting the term/excuse, that it devalues and drowns out the folk who are genuinely dealing and living with it.

And Aldrin is/ was a serious, hardworking dedicated engineer and test pilot. Not hard to imagine how all the focus gave him trouble. He wasn’t a pop star seeking attention...

A lot of it is about the next few years, including other jobs he took on, alcoholism, trouble in his marriage, and his depression and the treatment for it. All this is just in a few years, the period from July 1969 to whenever the book was finished for publication in 1973.

[@spankflaps1365]

I know they were all hardcore test pilots with athletic fitness, but quite a few of the Apollo astronauts did comment on how violent the shaking was during a Saturn V launch. The Apollo 8 crew got quite a shock because they hadn’t been warned. It was one of the few issues not predicted by the designers.

[@gecko-sb1kp]

I don't think there were two launches of a Saturn 5 that were identical. Some Apollo astronauts say that the noise at launch was unbelievably loud. Others say the noise wasn't so bad but the vibrations were. A lot were concerned about the outboard engines rocking the stack around so close to the launch tower. Some flights suffered from bad pogo oscillations, others didn't. In Al Worden's book, Falling To Earth, he mentions how some Apollo astronauts were uneasy crossing the access arm to the white room and Command Module because it was so unnatural to be so high up with just a metal grate underneath them. He said that some of their gloved hands gripped the railing like a vice...
