Pappband mit Schutzumschlag. 4. Auflage. 326 Seiten Kanten gering bestossen, von Buzz Aldrin auf dem Vortitelblatt mit schwarzem Stift signiert /// Buzz Aldrin (* 20. Januar 1930 als Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr. in Montclair, New Jersey) ist ein ehemaliger US-amerikanischer Astronaut. Aldrin betrat im Rahmen der Apollo-11-Mission kurz nach Neil Armstrong als zweiter Mensch den Mond. Aldrin wurde als jüngstes von drei Kindern des ehemaligen Army-Piloten Edwin Eugene Aldrin Sr. (1896-1974) und Marion Gaddys Aldrin (geb. Moon, 1903-1968) geboren. Bereits im Alter von zwei Jahren wurde er von seinem Vater in einem Dienstflugzeug der Standard Oil Company mitgenommen. Schon als Kind wurde er Buzz gerufen. Buzz ist die Kurzform von buzzer, dem missglückten Versuch seiner Schwester, ihn brother (engl. für Bruder) zu rufen.[1] 1988 legte er seinen Geburtsnamen Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr. offiziell ab.[2] Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurde sein Vater als Pilot eingezogen und kam nur selten und kurz nach Hause. Aldrins Mutter Marion litt unter Depressionen und Alkoholsucht. Im Alter von 9 bis 15 Jahren verbrachte Aldrin seine Sommerferien regelmäßig in Jugendcamps in Maine. Dort genoss er die Kameradschaft unter den Jungs und lernte, sich in Wettkämpfen durchzusetzen. Während seiner Schulzeit spielte er Football und betrieb Stabhochsprung. Militärdienst und Studium Aldrin absolvierte die Militärakademie in West Point, die er 1951 als Drittbester seiner Klasse mit einem Bachelor-Abschluss als Maschinenbauingenieur verließ. Er diente bei der US Air Force und wurde als Kampfpilot im Koreakrieg eingesetzt, in dem er 66 Einsätze flog und zwei MiG-15 abschoss. Nach dem Krieg diente er in Nevada, Alabama und Colorado. Auf dem Militärflugplatz Bitburg/Deutschland diente er als Flugzeugführer in der 22nd Fighter Squadron auf einer F-100 Super Sabre. Ab 1959 studierte er Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik am Massachusetts Institute of Technology, sein Studium beendete er 1963 mit erfolgreicher Promotion. Seine Doktorarbeit schrieb er über ?Navigationstechniken für bemannte Rendezvous im Orbit?.[3] 1967 erhielt er vom Gustavus-Adolphus-College auch einen Ehrendoktor der Naturwissenschaften. Nach dem Studium kehrte er zur Air Force zurück und diente im Gemini Target Office in Los Angeles sowie auf der Edwards Air Force Base. NASA-Tätigkeit Einsatz im Gemini-Programm Aldrin bei einer EVA bei Gemini 12 Aldrin bewarb sich bei der NASA und wurde am 18. Oktober 1963 als einer der 14 Astronauten der dritten Astronautengruppe der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt. Er war der erste Astronaut mit Doktorgrad und einer der wenigen, die nicht zuvor Testpilot waren. Ihm wurde als Fachgebiet die Missionsplanung der Gemini-Flüge zugeteilt. Für das geplante Rendezvous eines Gemini-Raumschiffs mit einem Zielsatelliten konnte er seine Kenntnisse der Himmelsmechanik einbringen, indem er statt tangentialen Umlaufbahnen konzentrische vorschlug. Während des Fluges von Gemini 5 im August 1965 diente er als Verbindungssprecher (Capcom) in der Leitzentrale, doch das geplante Rendezvous konnte wegen eines Defektes im Raumschiff nicht durchgeführt werden. Am 25. Januar 1966 wurde er als Ersatzpilot für Gemini 10 eingeteilt. Üblicherweise führte dies zu einer Nominierung für die Hauptmannschaft drei Flüge später, doch das Gemini-Programm sollte mit Gemini 12 enden, so dass Aldrin voraussichtlich nicht mehr zum Einsatz kommen würde und auf eine Einteilung zu einem frühen Apolloflug hoffen musste. Tragischerweise profitierte Aldrin vom Tod zweier Kollegen. Elliot See und Charles Bassett, die als Besatzung von Gemini 9 vorgesehen waren, verunglückten am 28. Februar 1966 bei einem Flugzeugabsturz tödlich. Die bisherige Ersatzmannschaft, bestehend aus Tom Stafford und Eugene Cernan, rückte nach, und Aldrin wurde in die neue Ersatzmannschaft von Gemini 9 versetzt. Der Flug fand im Juni 1966 statt, Aldrin war wieder als Capcom beteiligt. Als sich herausstellte, dass sich die Verkleidung des Nasenkonus des Zielsatelliten ATDA aufgrund einiger fa.
