The former US astronaut Buzz Aldrin has got married for the fourth time on his 93rd birthday.

Mr Aldrin was one of the pilots on the legendary Apollo 11 spaceflight in 1969, becoming one of the first two people to walk on the moon after the mission's commander, Neil Armstrong.

The former pilot said that he and new wife Anca Faur were as "excited as eloping teenagers".

He’s the guy I wanna be if the old lady kicks the bucket before me!god bless ya Buzz you are the man!

New wife is smart and beautiful - congrats and good wishes for the two of them..

 

"Dr Faur, 63, who has a PhD in chemical engineering, is the executive vice president of Mr Aldrin's company, Buzz Aldrin Ventures".

The term "Nutty as a fruitcake" comes to mind.

He's never been the same since that trip to the moon.

He reminds me of a verse on Lonnie Donegan's song "My Old Man's a Dustman"

 

Though my old man's a dustman
He's got an 'eart of gold
He got married recently
Though he's eighty-six years old
We said "'ere, 'ang on dad
you're getting past your prime"
He said "well when you get to my age"
"It helps to pass the time" (oi!)

She don't look bad for 63!

She looks amazing for 63. Either she has fantastic genes or not having children is a good idea.

He looks pretty good too. One has to remember that the astronauts that went to the moon were the very best people, physically, that they could find.

 

BTW she's been his girlfriend for a while, so not a sudden thing brought on by dementia or suchlike.

I beg your pardon, no need for that language!????????

Buzz Aldrin has had quite a life. 

A "space cadet" if ever there was one.

Before the Apollo 11 mission he was as normal as apple pie. 

After his return from the moon he first lost his sense of equilibrium, then had to deal with serious bouts of depression and alcoholism.

He accused NASA and the Air Force of "shunning" him, resigned his commission and became a Cadillac salesman in Beverly Hills.

An arrest for breaking down his girlfriend's door ended his 20-year first marriage and led to a series of bizarre short-term relationships and two more marriages that didn't last long.

All the best to the newlyweds.

I’m going to predict it won’t last long.

He must be over the moon.

Space Cadet... that nails him.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Guy punched a lunar landing denier.  Hero.
