'''Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr.''' (born January 20th, 1930) was the second man to walk on the [[moon]].  Aldrin was born Edwin Eugene Aldrin, Jr., and is a former NASA astronaut, and Colonel USAF (Ret.).  Aldrin legally changed his name in 1988 because his childhood nickname was "Buzz" received from by his sister—she mispronounced "brother" as "buzzer", which was shortened to Buzz.

The iconic image from [[Apollo 11]] is of Buzz, taken by [[Neil Armstrong]] during their historic moonwalk on July 20, 1969. Only the commander had a camera fixed to his space suit so the vast majority of the first lunar landing photos are of Buzz (or the Lunar Module Pilot).
