Participant of the first moon landing, 93-year-old Buzz Aldrin, married, lucky

Buzz Aldrin was one of the first people in history to visit the surface of the moon. The American cosmonaut has come a long and exciting journey. However, significant events still occur in his life. He recently turned 93 and married on his birthday. Who became his companion, we tell later in the article.



Edwin Aldrin (the real name of the astronaut) had every chance to get a prestigious education. However, he chose to enter the military academy. But it's also prestigious. However, since then, Buzz’s life has taken a completely different path.

The future astronaut confidently walked through the career ladder of the military. He became a fighter pilot and participated in the Korean War. After graduation, Aldrin continued to improve his qualifications: he defended his thesis and was enlisted in the astronaut squad.

Aldrin was the first person to go into space three times in a single flight. Thanks to his work, it became clear that astronauts can work effectively in outer space.

And after 3 years, Aldrin became the second man in history to walk on the moon. The first was Neil Armstrong. Buzz made a kilometer walk on the surface of the moon and broke his previous world record for being in outer space.



Back on Earth, the astronaut realized that he no longer has goals in life. There will be nothing as big as going to the moon. The man became depressed and began to touch the glass. Aldrin had to go to the clinic for treatment.

In terms of personal relationships Buzz succeeded. Only from his first marriage he has three children: two sons and a daughter. Then another woman appeared in his life. He was married to her for 12 years. The former astronaut married for the third time. That marriage, too, broke up as a result.

On January 20, 2023, Buzz Aldrin married again. For the fourth time, he decided to legalize his relationship with Anka Faur, his subordinate. She is 30 years younger than an astronaut. However, in this union, the age difference does not play any role.



Anka Faur, 63, has been working for Aldrin-owned Buzz Aldrin Ventures LLC since 2019. When the wedding took place, the woman was the vice president of the company. Buzz announced the joyful event on his Twitter account.

On my 93rd birthday, I am delighted to announce that my longtime love, Anka Faur, and I are married. We tied the sacred knot in a small private ceremony in Los Angeles. And we are thrilled as teenagers running away from their parents, Buzz wrote on social media.



Instagram / @astronomical_returns News of the astronaut's marriage spread all over the Internet in a matter of hours. Network users began to congratulate Aldrin with such a significant event. It's not every day that 93-year-olds get married. Especially the ones known as Buzz.

Going to the moon is a hoax? By the way, on the same day he was awarded the prestigious award “Living legends of aviation”. He is the only living member of an expedition to the moon in 1969. Although not everyone believes that this flight to the moon took place in reality.



In 2002, Aldrin was accused of fraud. Conspiracy theorist Bart Siebrel wanted to make an astronaut swear on the Bible that he actually flew to the moon. But instead, the man got punched in the face, as Buzz will not offend himself. The incident ended safely.

Well, congratulations to Buzz Aldrin on getting married. We wish him a long life and happiness in marriage. A living legend is a real role model!
