He's just getting the most out of the rest of his life. For every normie minute, Buzz gets 3 compressed minutes. A 3-watch-Buzzday seems like 24 hours to us, but Buzz expiriences 72 hours on 3 variable timelines, simultaneously, though he still experiences "now" the same as you or I.
Salvador Dali was the same way. Dali was up to 5 watches, but that finally proved to be too much when trying to extinguish a house fire that ultimately led to his demise at age 421.
You mean to say that a person who has been to the moon hasn't been told about the Smartwatch? With the flick of a button he can have 5 time zones if he wanted.
I went to a book signing years ago with my then 2 year old son and he stopped everything to talk to my son for a few minutes, very nice guy and it was a huge moment for us. I don’t normally fanboy, but ya that was awesome.
I never met him, but my favorite Buzz Aldrin story is when he punched the guy who was getting in his face and calling him a liar. Ha! My dad HAS met him though and said he was a really nice guy and incredibly generous.
That dude deserved that punch, he was following him around and getting in his face and don’t forget his friends that he trained with also died in the Apollo 1 disaster and that guy was being extremely aggressive and disrespectful about that, so he had that coming.
>my favorite Buzz Aldrin story
My favorite buzz Aldrin story is that he revolutionized the training and execution of spacewalks. Every space walk before his Gemini EVA was basically a disaster. He used his scuba diving experience to use neutral buoyancy training. The techniques that he developed during that training he managed to execute flawlessly during his own spacewalk. He rightfully says that he had the first "successful spacewalk."
I do understand that there were several before his own. But like I said above, they were disasters. All of those astronauts barely made it back inside the spacecraft and accomplished little to nothing while they were outside.
I honestly don’t know much about the first spacewalks. How exactly were the disastrous? You’re tethered to the ship, I’m sure it’s difficult to move around. I’m just curious what went wrong or almost went wrong.
>How exactly were they disastrous?
The suits were pressurized and the astronauts really had to fight to move their body. That made it very difficult to move around. The main difficulty I am discussing when I use the term "disastrous" is the difficulty they had getting back into the spacecraft. Alexy Leonev (first spacewalker) had to depressurize his suit just to fit into the airlock.
I read Gene Cernan's book and he also describes a very difficult space walk, in which he wasn't able to accomplish any real work and was almost crying from the pain while trying to get the hatch shut on his Gemini spacecraft. Dick Gordon's spacewalk was going pretty badly on Gemini 11. The commander decided to cut it short.
One of Buzz's chief innovations was the use of what he called "golden slippers". They were little toe holds that he was able to fit his feet into and create leverage so he could actually lever his body around. He was actually able to use tools effectively and accomplish tasks. That is the metric he uses (and I agree) when he says that he executed the first successful spacewalk.
>I don’t normally fanboy
Most of the people who get that treatment have only done something a ton of other people have also done, like write music or star in a movie. It's only special if you happen to really like the thing they did. This motherfucker did something for all of us. There's no corner of the planet where you couldn't, in one sentence, explain why Buzz is worth fanboying over to anyone who hasn't heard of him.
I loved the scene in The Crown where the crew of Apollo 11 are venerated by Prince Phillip. The Prince felt like such a nothing besides the achievements of those three men.
>The Prince felt like such a nothing besides the achievements of those three men.
He shouldn't have felt like a nothing. Not everyone gets to meet the Apollo crew!
He is an Omega brand ambassador. He is paid to wear them. One of the watches he will always have on is the Speedmaster, aka the Moonwatch, the watch worn on the first manned mission to the Moon by him and the rest of the crew. The other one looks like Skywalker X-33 which is a different version of the Speedmaster. It is the updated Moonwatch designed by Omega for astronauts and has been to space more than a few times. The one on his other wrist looks to me like a different X-33, but a different model. He normally wears all different kinds but probably threw on his 3 favorite Moon Omegas for the picture/day.
There have been many watches by many different brands that have been to space but these two models are probably the most beloved by watch and space nerds.
Damn, he's 93 but doesn't look a day over 70. He discovered the fountain of youth on the moon and isn't telling anyone. Or he lives a healthy life style. I *supposed* that's possible too.
I only know that it's steak because after reading sausages I said to myself there's no way this man is eating eight sausages for breakfast. Turns out his plate is healthier than 95% of American's daily breakfasts
The only reason I knew was steak was because I first saw them as sausage and thought: “there is no way this man eats all those sausage”, then zoomed in.
True, though it's not just his face. He looks like he's still got some meat on his bones, when other men his age look like twigs. I'd expect his arms to be covered in liver spots, though maybe he covers them up with makeup/filters.
It's also impressive to see someone his age eating such a large meal. Elderly people often loose their appetite with age. Though the fact that he still eats so well could be why he still looks so well.
Remember that time he punched a moon landing denier in the face on video and didn't get arrested because no one saw a damn thing. Yeah, I don't remember that either because I didn't see nothing but it sure was awesome.
Best buzz Aldrin clip I’ve seen yet is the one of him punching a guy who said the moon landings were fake. He had better old man game than even Bob Barker punching out Adam Sandler.
Three watches… all which appear to be set for the exact same time. I can understand wanting to know different time zones, but may be this is just a weird astronaut flex?
Everyones talking about his Omega Moon watches, but he's also nonchalantly wearing his West Point Class Ring and his NASA Moon Mission Ring. This man has earth and space bling.
Finally someone asking the important questions. His fork is dirty so he probably has had a bite but then cover it with glass for a picture? I’m so confused
Give it 2 more years. He will be one of those old men with a ring on EVERY finger.
And 5 watches on each arm.
He must have a lot of reminders on those watches to take his old man medicine (He doesn’t understand how phones work).
/s
That dude better never be late.
the early bird gets the wormhole
This image is not real. Those are not eggs. There’s no avocado. That is not cutlery. Everything you see here (including the alleged man) is cake.
which is why IM GETTING OFF THIS PLANE!!
Not just any cake. AI CAKE. Seriously, just look at the sprinkles. AI never gets those quite right.
He's just getting the most out of the rest of his life. For every normie minute, Buzz gets 3 compressed minutes.

Unfortunately all his watches melted
May he rest in pieces.
An astronout is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.
Unless he's returning from space then he arrives back a tiny fraction of a second earlier.
When you've been to the moon and still punching out guys in your 80s, you are officially bad ass enough to wear whatever the fuck you want.
And in three time zones.
The two watches on his left are the exact same times.
One is 12 hours ahead of the other /s
I know you're joking, but legitimately, actually the closest one is 2 minutes ahead. Whether by accident or not, that's kinda odd.
Good eyes! Maybe one was on earth and one was orbiting or something, demonstrating time dilation? Or maybe just an old battery lol
This is where the 3rd watch comes into play..... which one of the first two watches is correct ?
You have one watch and you always know what time is. Have two watches, and you never know what time it is.
You mean to say that a person who has been to the moon hasn't been told about the Smartwatch? With the flick of a button he can have 5 time zones if he wanted.
Theyre all set to the same time tho
In typical Apollo mission fashion critical systems have to be triple for redundancy.
Thank you. It actually makes sense now. Thee clocks to be 110% sure at least one is on time!
Yeah but looks wayyyy less cool and is way less of a conversation piece
But it has 5x less clout
I went to a book signing years ago with my then 2 year old son and he stopped everything to talk to my son for a few minutes, very nice guy and it was a huge moment for us. I don’t normally fanboy, but ya that was awesome.
Love hearing stories like this ♥️

Oh yeah, I couldn’t agree more! I’m serious, I cheered when I saw that video. Good for Buzz!
This is the example of when violence IS the answer. I'm not gonna tickle a nazi.

I respect this man so much. He went through alot in his life and remained a strong and positive fellow.
Whatever you do, don’t tell him the moon landing was fake, he will punch you in the mouth. Personally I feel like he’s earned that right though.
How many watches was he wearing then?
mf-er is so bad he wears 3 watches
One is set to moon time. You know. Because this man actually travels there on occasion.
it's basically his second home
Time at the Sea of Tranquility to be precise
Breakfast time, lunch time and dinner time.
He’s insane
a little bit Seiko
I'll give you a 10
I can't tell what the further watch on his left arm is, but the other two are omega speedmasters, right?
Dad?
Swatch definitely missed a prime endorsement opportunity.
Seems like he's got more time on his hands than one would think! *Watch* this space!
and he's deservedly unapollogetic
OP just casually dropping the best puns in the comment section
Some context: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/buzz-aldrin-rocking-three-omega-watches-at-once
I see what you did there…
Three watches ?
He is an Omega brand ambassador. He is paid to wear them. One of the watches he will always have on is the Speedmaster, aka the Moonwatch, the watch worn on the first manned mission to the Moon by him and the rest of the crew. The other one looks like Skywalker X-33 which is a different version of the Speedmaster. It is the updated Moonwatch designed by Omega for astronauts and has been to space more than a few times.

There have been many watches by many different brands that have been to space but these two models are probably the most beloved by watch and space nerds.
The watch from the moon was stolen. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/ten-watches-were-still-looking-for
I bet some warlord has it. Wouldn't even surprise me.
Basically like the time Robert Kraft showed Putin a Super Bowl ring & Putin just kinda….wanders off with it in hand never to return it
Impressive watch knowledge, but I suppose my question is less what are they and more.. what possible reason would he have to WEAR 3 watches at once?
Because he gets paid by Omega to do it. And here we are talking about his watches, so it's a good investment by Omega!
I have no idea, other than because he can, and it’s really kind of driving me nuts!
-They're all ticking, unlike their previous owners.
Okay Perconte
Bull, smack him for me please?
I gotta find a luger for my kid brother.
Calm down Bender
Redundancy. If one watch stops, he's got two backups.
3 watches / 3 rings. This dude is a 33rd level transformer from the dark side of the moon!
One of them tells Space Time.
Damn, he's 93 but doesn't look a day over 70. He discovered the fountain of youth on the moon and isn't telling anyone. Or he lives a healthy life style. I *supposed* that's possible too.
His secret is 8 sausages every morning with his eggs.
You know that a sliced steak, right?
If you believe that you’ll believe we actually landed on the moon.
…yes.
I only know that it's steak because after reading sausages I said to myself there's no way this man is eating eight sausages for breakfast. Turns out his plate is healthier than 95% of American's daily breakfasts
The only reason I knew was steak was because I first saw them as sausage and thought: “there is no way this man eats all those sausage”, then zoomed in.
His ability to control time probably has something to do with all those watches he’s wearing
I think he’s had work done.
True, though it's not just his face. He looks like he's still got some meat on his bones, when other men his age look like twigs. I'd expect his arms to be covered in liver spots, though maybe he covers them up with makeup/filters. It's also impressive to see someone his age eating such a large meal. Elderly people often loose their appetite with age. Though the fact that he still eats so well could be why he still looks so well.
He is impressively fit. I bet he works out every day, and it shows.
Over 70? He looks younger then my grandma who’d 67, he looks like 55
I would like to join him to yell at the moon
I walked on your face!
Return to the night! You’ve no business here!
Hello Twin
Dont’t you know its day?!
All I can say is he knows how to manage his time
Dude can be late to anything and say he was just looking at the wrong watch
An extraordinary achievement by all those involved and he is definitely ready to tell the time, judging by all the watches
Get one more watch for this legend!! Only 3 watches is a rookie number.
yea his arms have more space
Space. Heh.
Bro, that breakfast looks fantastic.
Everybody up in here talking about the watches but I definitely noticed that fire looking breakfast spread first.
My man needs to be well-nourished for punching moon landing deniers on the face when necessary
If I'm not mistaking eggs and steaks were breakfasts they used to eat before launch
Breakfast does look very good, but personally I’d be sad that the steak was over cooked in my opinion.
This man looks like he does magic mushrooms on a daily basis.
Space cadet
He never stopped going to the moon, just switched vehicles.
astronaut to psychonaut
[удалено]
Remember that time he punched a moon landing denier in the face on video and didn't get arrested because no one saw a damn thing. Yeah, I don't remember that either because I didn't see nothing but it sure was awesome.
What a healthy breakfast!
Buzz knows what time it is
Equal number of rings and watches. What a G
National. Treasure. International, even!
I bet the watches are for the time zones his kids are in.
Hey, Buzz. What time is it?
Dudes never been late for an appointment. In any time zone.
93 years old.
I'll never be cool enough to wear 3 watches.
3 watches ftw
I’m so curious why he wears three watches. The two don’t appear to be synchronized.
Literally the first thing I thought when I saw the pic too 😂
Dude went completely bonkers. Wearing three wrist watches
He's got riz
That's exactly how I would wear my rolexes and omegas, if I had them!
And he’s still late for everything.
3 watches 3 rings = 33 Illuminati confirmed.
MFs wearing 3 watches, wtf.
Hes been doing this for *years* Hes a brand ambassador for omega
OOhhhhhh. That makes a lot of sense.
Shout out to the time he punched the fuck out of a flat earther
He must keep his strength up just in case some moon-landing denier needs a beat down.
I loved the way he handled that moon-hoax troll who kept harassing him!
Hey Buzz, do you have the time by any chance?
With this watches and rings he looks more like a WW2 POW camp guard than an astronaut.
Why’s he using 3 watches??
He knows what time it is.
Seriously, what's with all the watches?
Best buzz Aldrin clip I’ve seen yet is the one of him punching a guy who said the moon landings were fake. He had better old man game than even Bob Barker punching out Adam Sandler.
Is he really wearing 3 watches or is AI playing tricks again?
No it’s real, the foods real, utensils have a accurate reflection, floor is cohesive and the photos in the background make sense
Can confirm. No extra heads, deformed hands, floating faces, basic ai stuff lol
Dude lives in 3 timezone at the same time
3 watches, 1 dude
Here you go, it's a Mars bar. Do you know where Mars is? It's in space. I've been to space. What have you done?
Three watches… all which appear to be set for the exact same time. I can understand wanting to know different time zones, but may be this is just a weird astronaut flex?
Celebrating? Maybe not Flexing? Absolutely
My man's got on 3 watches that tell the same exact time. Who is he flexing for. Or what is he trying to tell us. There's a message here.
Why 3 watches?
Everyones talking about his Omega Moon watches, but he's also nonchalantly wearing his West Point Class Ring and his NASA Moon Mission Ring. This man has earth and space bling.
I'm waiting for the picture of him opening his trenchcoat with all the rest of the watches on display.
My head canon is he wears a watch for each side hoe
set to the time zone they are living in
Why does he wear three watches?
Ran into him at Disney World FL when I was a kid, he complimented my shirt
I’m 30+ but I met him when I was in first grade. Still the coolest person I have ever met.
*Me thinking that Buzz Aldrin had already passed away some years ago* *See's this post* Me: 🤯🤯
Somebody give him a watch for his anniversary.
Get this man another watch
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?!?!
I met Buzz and his daughter several years ago. Nice man.
This guy knows what time it is.
He needs another watch!
Tell him he never went to the moon and is a fraud, and you can celebrate the anniversary of getting your ass beaten by him on the same day.
Should have gifted him a wristwatch !
He looks kinda crazy.
3 watches cause he got hoes in different area codes
He’s wearing 80’s wrestler level of jewelry.
*Third Watch* Aldrin
But how will he tell the time
Dang he got 3 watches
He knows what time it is
He looks crazier than a bag of shithouse rats. Just don’t ever try to tell him the moon landings were faked. He’ll punch you in the schnoz.
But why is his food encased in plexiglass?
Finally someone asking the important questions. His fork is dirty so he probably has had a bite but then cover it with glass for a picture? I’m so confused
It’s not, it’s on a tray. You are seeing the edges of the tray.
Can we all take a moment and appreciate that it was a man named Buzz that went to the moon with another man named Armstrong?
3 watches 🙄
Everyone is talking about his watches, but I’m looking at his plate & wondering if he’s keto 😂
He looks like a wizard
Segal's law is an adage that states: A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure.* *But a man with three?….
That breakfast is clearly staged
What time is it?
This dude is fucking hardcore. Wrote his thesis on the orbital mechanics of docking and it was so good NASA decided to send him to the moon
Wtf is he wearing 3 watches for
3 watches, what a baller
That’s a delicious looking breakfast.
Soooo, can anyone explain all the watches?
he needs more watches
steak eggs tomatoes avocado damn gimme that
Why is his food in a box?
Having worked with him,,I can tell you he is a real character.
Why 3 watches though?!
I’ll never forget his part on 30 Rock, yelling at the moon. What a fun guy.
Wearing two watches on one arm is a pretty Alpha move lol
My man's dripped the fuck out
r/absoluteunits of a breakfast
Its a man eating food. There is nothing interesting about this.
I’m fascinated by the three watches though.
Give it 2 more years. He will be one of those old men with a ring on EVERY finger. And 5 watches on each arm. He must have a lot of reminders on those watches to take his old man medicine (He doesn’t understand how phones work). /s
Got more watches than Rudy at a deposition
Man’s got a watch synced to the time zone on the moon.
Triples is best
Whats he eating? It looked horrible at first but after zooming in it looks pretty good, is that steak?
