Following up on last week's series of Zero-G posts on BoingBoing, Matt Fraction says:
My favorite Buzz thing– aside from the time he busted that guy in the chops for asking him if the moon landings were fake– was when Letterman was sending him out and about in the world for a while. He went to the daytime emmys in his astronaut suit and did red carpet interviews.
Which would go like this:
Buzz: Hi there! Who are you?
Soap Star: I'm Mr. Soap Star, and I'm nominated for best hooha in a thingy.
Buzz: That's great. I walked on the moon.
(very awkward silence)

Before this moment, the last time Dr. Aldrin had experienced lunar gravity was when he walked on the moon with Neil Armstrong on July 20,1969. Image: Jim Campbell. And if any BoingBoing have pointers to online archived footage of Dr. Aldrin's moment of Emmy zen, do tell.
