Moon Landing Disbeliever Walks Up to Astronaut Hero in a Hotel & Gets Hit with More Than Just Facts

"...renown conspiracy theorist Bart Sibrel, who believes that the moon landing was faked, approached veteran moon-walking astronaut Buzz Aldrin and asked him to admit that he didn’t do what history says he did.....Not surprisingly, Sibrel continued to instigate, calling Aldrin a “coward and a liar.” Then, according to eyewitnesses, Sibrel aggressively poked Aldrin with the Bible. Then he called him a “liar,” a “thief,” and a “coward”…That’s when Buzz Aldrin hit Sibrel so hard, he nearly sent him to the moon himself....."

An oldie but goodie...

Awesome!

Most astronauts have refused to grant him interviews. The most infamous incident involved Apollo 11 crew member Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon. According to Aldrin, he was lured to a Beverly Hills, California, hotel on September 9, 2002, under the pretext of an interview on space for a Japanese children's television show. When he arrived, Sibrel was there demanding that he swear an oath on a Bible that he had walked on the Moon. When Aldrin refused, Sibrel called him "a coward, and a liar, and a thief."[1][2] Aldrin punched Sibrel in the jaw, which was recorded.[3] Sibrel later attempted to use the tape to convince police and prosecutors that he was the victim of an assault. However, it was decided that Aldrin had been provoked, and, based on Sibrel's unfazed, nearly instant reaction to his cameraman, did not actually injure Sibrel, so no charges were filed. Many talk shows aired the clip, often siding with Aldrin's response.[4] Sibrel said later that he wrote a letter of apology to Aldrin.

Buzz is certainly a Type A personality. He even cut a rap song with Snoop Dogg. If you thought Shatner’s, “Rocket Man,” was bad, you ain’t heard nothing yet:

What is it with these morons that parade around with a Bible telling other people what sinners they are and yet act the fool and are anything but Biblical? Beam and mote ring a bell?

(N.B. If you’re just going to post some lame pretext about being jerk for Christ, save it.)

ijreview is a creepy website. What’s with the unkillable demands for responses & email/Facebook/Google ID?

Not only did Aldrin make it to the moon, he confirmed that he saw aliens.

Every so often, a Bozo pesters Col Aldrin with this nonsense. If the Col were to smack someone, and I was on the jury, I’d let him off...

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Two thoughts:

1) I hope Col Aldrin did not injure his knuckles.

2) If this or some other bozo tries this again, I hope Col Aldrin has a roll of nickles in his fist.

I believe this is his second, the first was a much quicker KO. Don’t you love that Buzz obviously was guilty but they wouldn’t charge him?

>> What is it with these morons that parade around with a Bible telling other people what sinners they are

If you had bothered to read even the brief *exerpt* prior to mouthing off, you would have understood that he brought the Bible only to *coerce Aldrin to swear an oath on it*.

He was not “parading around with it” and he was not using GOD’s word to indict Aldrin as a sinner.

It was a prop.

Go Buzz!

[samtheman]

Yup. Put me on that jury too.

The Japs bombed Pearl Harbor! I will post when I get an update.

So this story really happened -
Thanks for posting.
BTW: I just had the honor of meeting Mr. Aldrin last week. He was the guest of honor for the Adventurers Club in SoCal.
Captivating speaker who’s trying hard to get America back in space via a Mars shuttle program that’s getting attention.
He was whistful of the days when America and our leadership were dedicated to an exceptional space exploration program.

Kinda OT but I saw a cartoon on Facebook. It was 2 astronauts on he moon. They were looking down at a woman on the surface. The caption read, “ that is Alice Kramden.”. Only the older people on here will get it!

Buzz was 82 at the time.
