Aldrin, a native of New Jersey, is in Luxembourg to take part in celebrations planned for the 243rd American independence day and, of course, the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
During a press conference held at the US embassy on Monday 1 July, US ambassador to Luxembourg Randy Evans called Aldrin “a good friend” and alluded to his own excitement in hosting such a legend of space; “even I get goosebumps when I think about it” he said.
