Buzz Aldrin Museum

Montclair’s Lunar Legend Buzz Aldrin Marks Milestone Birthday Ahead of New Moon Launch Montclair lunar legend Buzz Aldrin turns 96 as NASA prepares for Artemis II by celebrating his legacy, Apollo 11 history, and humanity’s return to the Moon.

54 years ago today, launched…Eagle soaring from Earth atop the Saturn V, bound for the Moon. It seems like only yesterday that we embarked on the mission of a lifetime – a mission for all mankind, a mission I hope will continue to inspire well into our future.

July 20, 1969, the world witnessed one of the singular most important achievements in history - humans walking on the moon. Neil, Michael and I were proud to represent America as we took those giant leaps for mankind. It was a brilliant moment for the world and one of America’s finest hours.

Buzz Aldrin's former childhood home as it appears today after winning the 2022 Montclair HPC Bricks & Mortar Preservation Award. Bravo to Elyse Moody and Jim Connolly who "are the good stewards this home deserves," and big thanks to Lisanne Renner for nominating the home.
