Buzz Aldrin's Reactions to Donald Trump Talking About Space Are Everything

Jul 9 2017 - 7:30am

President Donald Trump attempted to shift the media narrative last week by signing an executive order [1] reviving the National Space Council and kick-starting the exploration of what he termed the "next great American frontier [2]." Unfortunately for the president, legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin β€” the second man to ever walk on the moon β€” completely stole the show. While signing the order, Trump took a couple of minutes to share some further thoughts [3] about the decision to bring the program back. Aldrin, who was standing next to Trump during the ceremony, couldn't hide the range of emotions he went through over the course of the remarks. And luckily for us, they were all caught on camera for posterity.

Buzz Aldrin is my new hero! Hahaha [4]

The internet, of course, had a field day with both Trump's bizarre commentary about space exploration and the astronaut's legendary facial expressions. Here, we've pulled together some of the very best social buzz β€” which, likely to the White House's dismay, doesn't really have much to do with the executive order itself at all.
