But guess it's Buzz Aldrin, too...

"Yet where are we now? We have stalled in our drive to reach outward. We appear to have become content watching shuttles launch and land in brief forays to near-Earth orbit. These missions are important. So is the success of NASA's space station. But these practiced feats are not exploration. They are place-holders for something larger. They await concerted leadership by a new president and political leaders who recognize America's enduring obligation to intergenerational achievement.
Now, more than 30 years after walking on the moon, there is a forgivable tendency among some to wonder if America has somehow forgotten how to take intelligent risks, how to aim for extraordinary goals, and how to put in place the steps necessary for their attainment. People I encounter muse on whether this nation could repeat, even with our enormous technological leaps, what we did three decades ago."
