Buzz Aldrin - Mission to Mars

Special discount of 5% available if you purchase your ticket through our dedicated secure link.

Hosted by: Ray Martin

Buzz Aldrin is a living legend of Space exploration. In Mission to Mars we take a journey with Buzz through space history and into the future, a future beyond Earth. We will relive his incredible missions, from fighter pilot in Korea, to his pioneering flight in Gemini 12, where he made the world’s first successful record-setting complex space walk EVA, and the historic Apollo 11 Moon landing where together with Neil Armstrong, Buzz became one of the first two humans to set foot on another world.

Now Buzz is on a new mission: to land humans on Mars by 2035. Hosted by one of Australia’s most experienced journalists, Ray Martin, and using stunning images and footage from Buzz Aldrin’s personal library of material, the Academy is proud to partner with Live on Stage Australia to present this opportunity to see and learn from one of the greatest explorers of our time.

A snapshot of just some of Buzz Aldrin’s lifetime achievements:

* the first NASA Astronaut to hold a Doctorate of Science in Astronautics from MIT.

* developed the docking and rendezvous techniques for spacecraft in Earth and Lunar orbit, which are still used today, earning him the nickname “Dr Rendezvous”.

* pioneered Astronaut underwater training techniques to simulate working in space

* during the Gemini 12 mission, Buzz completed the world’s first successful record-setting complex space walk EVA of 5 ½ hours.

* On July 20th 1969 as Lunar Module Pilot of Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, made the historic first Moon Landing.

* Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become the first two humans to walk on the Moon.

* Buzz Aldrin developed Aldrin Mars Cycler, a spacecraft system with perpetual cycling orbits between Earth and Mars designed to achieve a manned missions to Mars by 2035.
