Description:
Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin was honored by the Lancaster JetHawks Class A California League baseball team during their annual Aerospace Appreciation Night on Aug. 25, 2007. Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were the first two humans to set foot on the moon in 1969. Prior to his appearance at the baseball game, Aldrin toured NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, and was brought up to date on several of the major aeronautics, science and space research projects under way at the center by former Apollo-Soyuz and space shuttle astronaut Vance Brand, director of aerospace projects at NASA Dryden.
