The moon landing anniversary sent this Buzz Aldrin smackdown viral again and it’s never less than magnificent

It was the 54th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon this week and one of the three men on board, Buzz Aldrin, celebrated in style.

Nice watch(es) Buzz!

54 years ago today, #Apollo11 launched…Eagle soaring from Earth atop the Saturn V, bound for the Moon. It seems like only yesterday that we embarked on the mission of a lifetime – a mission for all mankind, a mission I hope will continue to inspire well into our future. pic.twitter.com/1Qw1CWhfaK

And it was presumably the anniversary that sent this this clip of the great man viral again, an encounter with a conspiracy theorist who decided to get right in Aldrin’s face.

And it’s fair to say it didn’t end well for him.

‘There was an attempt … to call Buzz Aldrin a liar about walking on the moon,’ said MeenMisterMustard who posted it on Reddit.

‘I love Buzz Aldrin for this video. Calling this man a liar because you want to believe some bullshit tinfoil hat theory over fact is beyond idiotic.’
