    Buzz Aldrin’s defence in court:

    “Your honour, that video of me punching that guy is totally staged and fake, and I was never there.”

    I believe it was specifically calling Buzz a ‘liar’ and a ‘coward’ that earns dipshit a knuckle sandwich.

    It was well deserved. Let’s not forget: Buzz knew a fair few people who died in the pursuit of that dream, and the astronaut profession in general. The crew of Apollo 1, astronauts who died during training, Challenger, Columbia…

    He is well aware that it takes a lot of guts to strap yourself to a rocket and that some have paid the ultimate price for it. And here’s a guy who calls him a liar and coward. If anything, Buzz went soft on him.
