$33 reimbursed to Buzz Aldrin for his trip to the moon

[Arjen]

Like any other American returning home from a business trip out of the country, former NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin filled out an expense report and a customs form when he came back from the moon. Aldrin—the second man to step foot on the lunar surface, after Neil Armstrong—recently shared the paperwork on Facebook. The records include signatures from Aldrin and a Honolulu customs inspector, and one of the most unusual itemized itineraries in history: Florida to Moon to Pacific Ocean to Hawaii, and then back home to Houston.


The official travel voucher also mentions the USS Hornet (misspelled on the form). That’s the ship that picked up Aldrin and the Apollo 11 crew after they landed in the Pacific.

No wonder they called him "Buzz"... The guy has always strived to remain in the public eye at any cost, even recording a hip hop record with Snoop Dogg and saying: "I have only two passions: space exploration and hip hop."
