evidence: In 2007, former astronaut Buzz Aldrin discussed the Apollo 11 mission that first put humans on the moon at Elon's McCrary Theatre. Watch a video of his remarks in this post. [...] Aldrin described the journey into space and the dangers that came with it. The crew was told it had a 60 percent chance of safely landing on the moon's surface, but Aldrin said he, Armstrong and Collins were never concerned. Not even in the face of computer overloads, dangerous terrain and 15 seconds of remaining fuel at the time of touchdown, did the crew take its eyes off the mission. [...] At Elon, Aldrin said the Apollo 11 crew's efforts were just the beginning of what the world could accomplish, and he left the crowd with these words: "My wish is for each of you and your students to find the courage to risk the abyss, to set sail for the edge and find instead new worlds beyond imagination to dare to dream and reach for the stars."
