Buzz Aldrin
This was his reply: <P>
‘It was sheer beauty. <P>
It was like the most beautiful but fragile-blue Christmas ornament hanging in as black a black void as you could possibly get.’ <P>
‘As soon as I saw Earth hanging there, still and silent and so, so delicate, I just wanted to go back immediately and understand it, protect it and, I guess, save it.’Â <P>
He went on to remark how difficult it is to see things when they are close up.
