After retiring from NASA in July 1971, Aldrin went on to serve as commandant of the Aerospace Research Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Speaking in 2009, he reflected on the significance of his time as an astronaut, saying, “People want us in a few words to generate the enthusiasm that the world had as they contemplated what we were about to do. Well, what it felt like is something that we trained for. We were trying to treat it as calmly as we could and perform to the best of our ability.”
Aldrin also thanked his followers for the birthday wishes and expressed his desire to continue serving a greater cause for many more years to come. He wrote, “Thank you for all of the Happy Birthday wishes and heartfelt goodwill! It means a lot and I hope to continue serving a greater cause for many more revolutions around the sun!! Onward and upward and best wishes to all of you as well!”
