      I only know his name because there was a game named after him in 1993. Nobody ever knows the second guy.

        Niel basically retired after his moon landing IIRC, but Buzz turned into a speaking engagement farmer and is on a lot of talk shows and podcasts and stuff.

        It’s the third guy whose name nobody knows.

          I never heard about Aldrin in Poland outside of specific topic of first Moon landing, even articles about space race rarily mention him. And that game was the first time (and one of not many) i heard about him and the only reason i remembered him since it was a good game.
