Buzz Aldrin was on NUMB3RS on CBS this evening. I'd never seen the show (which seems to be about people solvin' crime with math, so that's neato), but apparently one of the characters was chosen to go on a "NASA space mission" for six months, and Buzz Aldrin helped walk him off into the sunset. I'm not quite sure what the lead in was like, but hopefully the dude, you know, did some training before the launch (which occured in the next scene)...
This article is much like the one I read this morning in our own Daily Oklahoman (although I have to admit I was digging around in it for the sudoku) which informed me of the appearance with a little info on the show and the actors' reactions to working with Aldrin.
This article has a different angle that talks more about him. "Dr. Aldrin is determined to inform people all over the world that space is not only the next frontier, but it is their frontier. He hopes his appearance on 'NUMB3RS' will direct people to learn more about space and space travel on ShareSpace Foundation’s new website." Which I thought was very cool.
This is his ShareSpce Foundation website which I hadn't heard about yet, and hasn't really launched yet, but it'll be cool to see what they do with it.
