Buzz Aldrin was part of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 when man first walked on the moon. Neil
Armstrong went first, followed by Buzz. Nothing in all his training had prepared him for that moment,
and he has been travelling the world ever since, reliving the experience. He was born in New Jersey in
3

1930, and he graduated from West Point Military Academy. He served as a pilot in Korea and West
Germany, and in 1966 he was chosen as an astronaut.
Apollo 11 was launched to the moon on July 16. Four days later they landed near the Sea of
Tranquility. The mission ended on July 24, with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
On coming back to earth, he became very depressed, and suffered from alcoholism. He had married
for the first time when he was young, and had three children. His second marriage lasted a very short
time.
Fortunately, he seems to have found happiness and stability with his third wife, Loris Driggs Cannon,
who saved him from self-destruction. They now live with their three dogs in California, and have six
cars “for fun”. He has written his autobiography and a science fiction book, called Encounter with
Tiber, which was published in 1996. He now travels the world, giving lecture tours and raising funds
for space exploration.

religious values. Today, however, those roles are gradually changing.
Changes in economic roles
More and more women (1)________ out to work and earn money. This increases the budget
of the family. (2) __________ from that, there are various social welfare programmes which
financially assist mothers in supporting their children. Both these changes have greatly
impacted the role of fathers because they make paternal financial support less essential for
many families.
Changes in caregiving roles
With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father's role,
modern day fathers tend (3) _________more involved in children's caregiving. They are now
spending more time and energy on their children. Psychological research across families
from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the influence of a father's love and attention is as
great as that of a mother's. Fatherly love helps children develop a sense of their place in the
world, which helps their social and (4) _________development. Moreover, children who
receive (5) _________ love from their fathers are less likely to have behavioural problems.
