who was the second man on the moon?

Answer 1

Buzz Aldrin, Astronaut

* Born: 20 January 1930
* Birthplace: Montclair, New Jersey
* Best Known As: The second man on the moon

Name at birth: Edwin Eugene Aldrin, Jr.

Buzz Aldrin was the second human to walk on the moon. On July 20, 1969, he followed Neil Armstrong onto the lunar surface while a third American astronaut, Michael Collins, remained in orbit overhead. Aldrin attended West Point, flew fighter jets in the Korean War, and then earned a doctorate in astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) before joining the NASA astronaut corps in October of 1963. He flew on the Gemini 12 space mission (launched 11 November 1966) and then was chosen as the lunar module pilot for Apollo 11, the first manned mission to the surface of the moon. The success of Apollo 11 made Aldrin, Armstrong and Collins international heroes. Since his retirement from NASA, Aldrin has been an unabashed booster for space exploration. He founded Starcraft Boosters, a private rocket design firm. His autobiography, Return to Earth was published in 1973. He also wrote the sci-fi novels Encounter With Tiber (1996) and The Return (2000).

Answer 2

You have to be careful about exactly what you're asking. People replying to this are assuming that you want to know the name of the second man to walk on the Moon, to which the correct answer is Edwin Aldrin. He was also known as "Buzz", because when he was a youngster, his sister referred to him as her "buzzer" instead of "brother". He legally changed his name to "Buzz" in the early 1980s.
However, should you ever meet him, do not make the mistake of asking "Weren't you the second man on the Moon?", as he may correctly reply, as he has done, "I believe we both landed at the same time!"
Amazingly, Aldrin's mother's maiden name was Moon.
The third man to walk on the Moon was Pete Conrad, who was sadly killed in a motorbike accident in July 1999. He died in Ojai, California, Ojai is a Native American for the Moon. Had things been different back in 1968 when the Lunar Module was under construction, Conrad may have actually been the commander of Apollo 11 and been the first man to walk on the Moon.
