Buzz has a reputation for being kind of grumpy, but he's great with kids. When mine met him, my 7 year old casually said, "Hi Buzz!", and when somebody mentioned that he went to the moon, my 4 year old said with a sigh, "I know!" Both gave Buzz a chuckle. Despite signing books for hours, he took time to chat with the kids, shake their hands, and take a picture.

I hope the person that will walk on Mars is already in his/her 20s.
Neil Armstrong was 38 (Buzz was 39) when he stepped on the moon, I don't want to wait 32 years for this fellow to reach the right age.
