Aldrin skeptical
about those UFOs
By FRANK MACOMBER
Copley News Service
The United States likely
could have sent men winging
off on a mission to Mars
sometime in the 1980 s if lack
of public support had not
taken the wind out of the
space program’s sails.
Indeed, interplanetary
manned flight and even cities
in space “are not all that un
realistic” if there were dol
lars to finance such ambi
tious space ventures.
These are the views of the
second man ever to walk on
the moon — retired, 45-year
old Air Force Col. and former
Apollo Astronaut Edwin E.
(Buzz) Aldrin Jr.
On July 20, 1969, Aldrin fol
lowed Astronaut Neil Arm
strong to the lunar surface,
stepping down from their
Eagle spacecraft at Tran
quility Base minutes after
Armstrong took the historic
first stride.
Why did Americans grow
cool toward the space pro
gram after the Apollo project
had achieved its goals?
“I think perhaps because a
continued all-out space effort
was not in keeping with the
international and domestic
events that were occurring,"
answered Aldrin in an inter
view. Without public enthusi
asm, the space money tree
withered from a high of more
than $6 billion during one
year of the Apollo buildup
program to less than $3.5 bil
lion in this fiscal year, he
pointed out.
Aldrin estimates it would
take years and billions to
climb back up to where
America was in the space
picture during the Apollo se
ries.
“It would be almost like
starting all over again, if the
government decided to head
for the planets or to build
cities in the sky,” he says.
"The space program has lost
not only many of its astro
nauts (from some 70 down to
33 on active flight duty) but
scientists, engineers and
technicians as well. So de
spite a NASA-sponsored
study of how communities
could be established in space
in this century, these projects
and interplanetary travel
must remain mostly explora
tory for the foreseeable fu
ture.”
Aldrin believes the United
States perhaps got away from
the starting blocks too quick
ly in the space race with
Russia, probably because the
Soviets drew first blood with
their beeping Sputnik satel
lite.
“Our space exploration
went faster than normal be
cause of the rivalry with
Russia,” he says.
“And it’s possible Presi
dent Kennedy’s goal of reach
ing the moon in file ’6os was a
way to unite the country when
it needed uplifting — after the
Bay of Pigs incident.”
The latter was a reference
to U.S. involvement in an
abortive guerrilla attempt to
invade Fidel Castro’s Com
munist Cuba in April, 1961.
“Once we had beaten the
Russians to the moon, the en
thusiasm waned," Aldrin re
calls. "This country has not
seen national unity like the
Apollo support since we went
to the moon.”
Aldrin, a many-times-deco
rated Air Force fighter pilot
who flew 66 combat missions
over Korea, retired from
NASA in 1971 and from the
Air Force the following year
after 21 years of service. To
day he is president of a Los
Angeles research and engi
neering consultant firm.
A part-time NASA adviser
on the upcoming manned
shuttle program, Aldrin sees
the project as a road to more,
improved and less costly
satellites in a variety of fields
— communications, weather
and military surveillance,
among others.
He predicts, too, that the
shuttle with its Spacelab will
clear the way for better prod
ucts for earthlings through
manufacturing in the weight
lessness of space.

Cummings and Dr. Ken Morin, a
Georgia State University psychologist,
taught the class tension-relieving exer
cises. During the seven weeks of
classes, the fearful fliers also toured
the Hartsfield Airport control tower
and a Delta Airlines maintenance
plant, to see how everything was taken
care of for flight.
“Wiggle your toes, breath deeply,
rock with the motions of the plane, let it
pull you back into the seat,” Cummings
said over the airplane’s sound system
as the jet took off. “Close your eyes and
think of a pleasant experience,
someone you like.”
Once airborne, Cummings insisted

that each of his pupils unwrap their
fingers from the armrests and change
seats at least once. All but a few stayed
on their feet throughout the flight,
reassuring each other that all was well
and visiting the cockpit.
Cummings did not fly the plane,
staying with his passengers to explain
the meaning of each thud or rattle —
such as wheels locking, flaps lowering,
or engines accelerating.
Cummings said he was not
disappointed that two of his students
dropped out at the last possible minute
before takeoff. He said a few others quit
during the classroom sessions.
“A few came to just one session to see
if we had a magic pill that would clear
up their fear of flying,” he said.
